Who is going to decide what are a worthy uses of our precious green energy sources?
- intended 2y agoAn efficient market where externalities are priced in. We do not have that. The cost of energy is mis-priced, although we are limping our way to fixing that. Paying the likely fair cost for our goods, will probably kill a lot of current industries - while others which are currently viable, will become viable.

They throw out governments when the price of fuel goes up. Markets are our super computers. Human behavior is the empirical evidence of the choices people will make Given specific incentives.
