    Should governments provide incentives for companies to go "Green"
    There is a great deal of emphasis in our economy to build and operate businesses in an environmentally efficient manner. Should state or federal government offer special incentives for companies that choose to build with green materials, harness green power, and employ other green tactics in their operations?

    Why or why not?

    Governments should not even be remotely involved in any economies whatsoever.

    No because those incentives would have to be very large because going "green" is very expensive.

    It's actually a "Future Business Leaders of America" resolution (not a debate, just a presentation).

    Anyways, I'm researching for pro-capitalistic ideas.

    A free market doesn't yield optimal economic outcomes all the time, meaning that a government with sufficient information might be able to interfere and make it more efficient.

    Why should the economic cost of interfering in a free market always be more than the gain?
