The environment is very important to us at Against Crony Capitalism. We believe in a cleaner planet, we are fans of trees, we like vast expanses of rain forest, we like environmentally friendly materials and energy. But in order for something to be considered truly sustainable it must be sustainable economically. Does the market want a material or form of energy at a cost which makes sense? If the answer is no, if a project is not economically sustainable, it should not be done. Pouring mounds of taxpayer dollars (which are taken from the productive part of the economy) into untested technologies and markets created by government fiat is just poor stewardship. It’s a bad use of money.
