“Why is it bad that someone wants our development to be pushed toward renewable energy?”
By “pushed,” you mean forced. The initiation of force is immoral. Surely, renewable energy is desirable. However, it must be economically viable. Otherwise, it is destructive. Economically viable renewable energy would not need to be “pushed.” It would be gleefully adopted as a superior alternative to the status quo. Prescribing the initiation of force as a means to adopt a new technology is an admission that the technology does not work. You don’t have to force people do things that make sense and add value to their lives.
I would eliminate the EPA. It’s espoused purpose is served by protecting property rights universally, as Epstein prescribes.
