The article discusses a new proposal for revolutionizing the energy sector by the federal government using a different approach to incentivize innovation. It criticizes the current strategy of using executive orders and taxpayer-funded incentives for electric autos and utility solar/wind power, suggesting that there is a lack of a well-thought-out plan to achieve the government's goals effectively. The author proposes that instead of focusing solely on electric vehicles and solar/wind power, the government should incentivize oil and gas producers, auto manufacturers, and utilities to create and design more efficient vehicles with reduced or no CO2 emissions. The article suggests exploring technologies like fuel cells, alternative hybrid vehicles, and battery improvements to achieve this goal. Additionally, it advocates for incentivizing the development of inventive and efficient power production and distribution systems, including nuclear, hydrogen, solar, wind, and hydro power. The article envisions a system where companies are rewarded for meeting specific goals negotiated with the government, with incentives such as technology patents, drilling rights, and infrastructure bonuses, as opposed to the current model of government picking winners and losers using taxpayer money. Overall, the article calls for a fundamental shift in the government's approach to energy innovation, with a focus on collaboration with industry players and a more diversified approach to energy sources and technology.
