Undermining Energy Production
An Economic and Philosophic Analysis of the State of Energy Production
Originally published in Journal of Management Policy and Practice
This paper shows that the world faces an energy crisis but that the crisis is not due to the depletion of fossil fuels. It is a man-made crisis. The crisis is being caused by environmentalist and other statist policies around the globe. The paper shows that the solution to our energy problems is the abolition of government controls restricting our ability to gain access to energy products. It states that the motivation for the restrictive policies stems from the morality of self-sacrifice, while the morality of rational self-interest provides the basis for abolishing the controls.
