Imagine that you are listening to a presidential debate and the topic of energy policy is brought up. Three possible viewpoints are presented: (1) the government should not interfere with energy choice and allow the free market to dictate which energy products are used, (2) non-renewable fossil fuels that produce more carbon emissions and harmful byproducts should be taxed to reflect their true environmental costs and the proceeds should support environmental clean-up efforts, and (3) producers of renewable energy should receive tax breaks to better compete with producers of non-renewable energy that are currently less expensive. Which of the three strategies would you support and why?
