If it is a good option, why is its use mandated? Why would the market not choose to use it on its own worth?
The original mandate instituted to get the massive infrastructure that was necessary off the ground and in place. I would like to see natural gas follow a similar mandate if we can ever hope to expand this piece of the energy pie infrastructure. The Feds are wasting about 70% of our taxes on welfare.
The market is profit motivated. Sometimes profit comes before what is good for people.
