I initially dismissed this comment because the article was clearly about the market dynamics of an infrastructure-critical commodity.

But on reflection, I would say that this comment misses the point by less than I'd originally thought.

I would argue in response to it that every market-focused topic should include the key externalities associated with the topic.



Maybe the newly formed salt monopoly will increase prices, thus reducing use of salt on roads and reducing the impact on the environment. Win-win?
