People Like the Green New Deal
- api 8y agoI like it in the abstract, but I get itchy whenever I see something that puts politicians potentially in the position of picking winners in the tech space or market space. They just generally lack the engineering expertise to do this and tend to pick "pessimum" solutions for porky political reasons (e.g. corn ethanol, the least efficient biofuel). Government should just tax carbon and/or fossil fuels to price in their externalities, broadly support research, but otherwise get out of the way.
