I guess I am beginning to believe that intervention can be a good or a bad thing. With all the huff about climate change and how our government should be putting a stop to it, I am beginning to think a non-intervention approach to it might be the best way. It is going along with my ever-more leaning libertarian views on just about everything. I will probably dwell on this for a while before actually sorting it out, but I need to consider my grassroots beliefs.
Intervention has no doubt proved to improve quite a bit with fuel efficiency stuff, and we have seen it work in the EU. My idea is that it is because of too much intervention in the first place that all the intervention is needed to correct it. For example: The subsidies given to big oil companies should be abolished. Say there were no subsidies, and the price of gas actually reflected the price of oil. One has to believe that with such innovative technology, someone would have actually given the millions of other ways to create energy a try.
With the current system I see how intervention has to be here to keep hope alive. I guess until the system is completely reformed there has to be intervention. I guess I am also fed up with begging the federal government to do something about an issue bigger than any other on their plate.
