"Green" Economies

“The bottom line is that most consumers want [their cars] to be green, but not if there is a significant personal cost [for] them.“

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/going-green/27684560/detail.html

[Why is it always conservatives who refuse to simply examine the evidence, in this case about  hybrid   automobile   engines  and their  clearly   superior   environmental  and  cost   benefits  over strictly gasoline engines. Americans don 't just need these cars,  Americans   want  these cars.  Let's follow  our leader's lead  and use them.]

“Much of today’s energy policy assumes that regulations mandating greater energy efficiency will reduce energy use.  That isn’t always the case and energy efficiency improvements are seldom as large as promised by engineering calculations because of ‘rebounds’…  The pervasiveness of energy efficiency rebounds illustrates that attempts to plan or direct energy policy toward desired goals will likely fall far short of expectations.“

“Green growth proponents are convinced that if they could only offer the right subsidies, their agenda would prevail.  Unfortunately, subsidies are doomed to fail because they try to make fundamentally economic decisions through the political process.  [Government] officials, no matter how well-informed they are, simply don’t know what demand for green products will look like or what the opportunity cost of different technologies may be.  Examples like Solyndra, Evergreen Solar, and Cascade Grains illustrate the enormous costs when the government gets it wrong.  Far from being the exception, failed investments are by far the more likely result when state governments try to steer the market.“
