One, largely theoretical, way to deal with externalities and environmental
problems could be to put the problem in the hand of the one who causes it,
as much as possible. For example run the engine exhaust through the
passenger cabin :)  Or deliver the yearly quota of nuclear waste to all who
bought electricity from the plant. (Of course, they -- or their heirs --
also get their share of the plant itself when it goes out of service after
some 50 years.)

I know these are not realistic scenarios, but everything else is NIMBY.
