Because the public would own it so its interest would be the interest of the public, as opposed to the interest of an individual we have no control over.

Tax non renewable energy consumption. If it's mostly used by industry, tax industry heavily, if it's owned by us we tax ourselves.
| quote: | | What is the 'green' the government owns? |
Green energy.
| quote: | | Why should the government own the 'green,' not private individuals? |
Because no private individual should own an energy source or the means of extracting energy from it solus. In my view it is public domain.
| quote: | | Where does the government get this money to buy green? |
How does the government get money to do anything?
| quote: | | Do you think we shouldn't own any missiles? |
You should be asking me what percentage of our spending should go to defense.
