Most libertarians would disagree with me, but I generally agree with Bjørn Lomborg. The way government goes about things is all wrong. I think that spending a lot more money for energy research is an appropriate thing to do, once we get our financial house of cards in order.

I approve of research done by the private sector as the most efficient way to achieve progress. When the government interferes through subsidies, the inevitable result is to misallocate funds.

Onr reason we are in the mess we are in environmentally is the subsidies we give to the ownership of cars. Do away with all subsidies is a first step to environmental sanity.

This presentation of Lomborg's was done at Google Talks.
