Jason Shogren, who holds the Stroock Chair in natural resource conservation and management and economics at the University of Wyoming, argues that “You have to have these regulations to create incentives for innovation. People aren’t necessarily going to innovate and come up with more technologies to do more with less pollution unless there is not a financial reason to do so".

It's clear that there is change, and that change is from industrial works. Just as it stands firm that fossil fuels are finite. We cannot say the same for renewable energy. We may have to extract more resources from the earth to make the means to harness renewables, we might not need to eventually. But when we establish the infrastructure, and when we do it right, maintenance will be reduce significantly compared to the efforts demanded from extracting and consuming fossil fuels
