In order to conserve energy effectively,
the gov should increase the price of gasoline and electricity. Do you agree or
disagree?
Tax -> impact on low income
Promote green tech better
The government should not increase the
price of gasoline.
First, the government should be responsible
for the redistribution of income of the citizens. However, of the government
increases the price of gasoline, the low income earners would not afford the
high price products. This could become even more severe if the high priced
products are necessities that people must purchase.
Second, it would be more advisable to
promote green technology as this would be better in the long-term. Giving an
advantage to use green technology or making people to conserve energy through
national campaign would be better. Changing the behaviour of the people would
last more longer than just increasing the price of gasoline to conserve the energy.
In conclusion, raising the price of gasoline would not be the ideal solution to conserve energy
