Laissez-Faire

Very strongly agree

No, end all tax credits and subsidies to the energy industry

This answer strongly aligns with laissez-faire ideology, as it calls for an end to all tax credits and subsidies in the energy industry. This would allow the market to determine the success of various energy sources without government intervention, which is a core principle of laissez-faire economics.

Strongly agree

No

Laissez-faire supporters generally believe that the market should determine the success of industries, without government intervention. They would likely agree with not giving tax credits and subsidies to the wind power industry, as it would allow the market to decide its viability. The score is not 5 because some might argue that existing subsidies for other energy industries should also be removed.

Agree

No, and the government should never support unproven technologies

This answer aligns with the laissez-faire belief in minimal government intervention, as it opposes government support for unproven technologies. However, the score is not higher because the answer does not address the broader issue of government involvement in the energy industry, which laissez-faire proponents would likely want to see reduced or eliminated.

No, wind power is an inferior alternative to oil, coal, and nuclear power

This answer opposes government support for wind power, which aligns with laissez-faire principles of minimal government intervention. However, the score is not higher because the answer implies that oil, coal, and nuclear power are superior alternatives, which may not be a universally held belief among laissez-faire proponents.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Laissez-faire ideology advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy. Providing tax credits and subsidies to the wind power industry would be seen as government interference, which goes against the principles of laissez-faire. However, the score is not -5 because some proponents might see it as a way to level the playing field with other energy industries that already receive subsidies.
