I disagree that the only way for the government to encourage energy conservation is to increase the price of gasoline and electricity. Some people may say that energy conservation is one of the national policies. Thus, state only the state can conserve energy. could control for energy conservation. However, The rapid change on energy policy arouses side effects. Also, if government acts for energy conservation with increase the price of gasoline and electricity, it causes inflation in economy.
First of all, the rapid transform on energy policy arouses side effects. Some people may mention that it is necessary to preserve energy. However, some people will have a hard time due to the policy. People Especially those who have work transportation jobs will suffer from th increase of the price of gasoline and electricity. Let me take my friend for example. He is a taxi-driver. drives taxi as a job. He often tells talk to me that if the gas price will increases, he may quit his job. It is because expensive gas price always will effect negatively to drivers. In other words, these people are sensitive to from the government policies on energy conservation.
Second, if the government acts for energy conservation by increasing with increase the price of gasoline and electricity, it causes inflation in economy. If this happens inflation starts in economy, a lot of side effects emerge in economic life. For instance, consumption will sharply decrease because the price of all goods has increased. increase of price of all goods. Also currency value will collapse. These effects make our economy more difficult. Of course, some people may say that if inflation will emerges, the state can could handle the national economy. However, an excessive intervention of states in economy field will arouse other side effects.
In conclusion, I do not agree that it is because the only way for the government to encourage energy conservation is to increase the price of gasoline and electricity. Also if government acts for energy conservation with increase the price of gasoline and electricity, it causes many inconvenience/difficulty for many people/citizens and inflation in economy. |
