For the new policy resolution, for the 2008-2009 school year. What are some alternative energy incentives?

Question

The United States federal government should substantially increase alternative energy incentives in the United States. This is the resolution.

Answer 1

The United States Government should get out of the energy business and do away with all mandates and incentives.  Let the market decide what the best fuel is.  When I say all incentives, I mean all, including various tax breaks provided to the oil industry to encourage exploration and production.  Level the playing field, and the market will make the right choice.
