    Energy: Ending the Never-Ending Crisis

    About this ebook

    Government regulates the energy industry far more intensely than it does other sectors of the economy. Economist Paul Ballonoff argues that the case for special regulation of energy is based on myths that serve only to fatten special-interest groups at the expense of energy consumers. This book dismantles the arguments for energy regulation, accuses energy regulation of causing—not remedying—the various diseases it attempts to cure, and makes the case for fully returning control of the energy sector of the economy to market forces. The best energy policy is no policy at all.
