There has bee a great deal of talk lately by presidential candidates from both parties and pundits everywhere that what American needs is an “all-of-the-above” energy policy. In fact what the country needs is a “none-of-the-above” energy policy. Let the market decide. The government shouldn’t be picking winners and losers and that means it also shouldn’t be deciding that all forms of energy should be winners, which is what the all-of-the-above strategy would seem to imply. Certainly consumers, if left free to choose in the market place, would never go with all of the above. They would choose whatever energy sources best fit their needs and is least expensive and most efficient. Like it or not that would leave some energy sources out of the equation. The government should stay out of it. As far as the government is concerned its energy strategy should be “none-of-the-above.”
