Governments have traditionally relied on a mixture of carrots and sticks to get people to obey laws or engage in (or avoid) certain behaviors.
A third way the government attempts to get people to do what it wants is called a “nudge.” It's a popular tool for enticing people to jump on the energy-saving bandwagon, using rebates, incentives, and other financial goodies to get folks to trade in their old equipment for a newer kit that (supposedly) runs cheaper and cleaner.
The government has used far bigger and more expensive (for taxpayers) nudges to get manufacturers to create varieties of biofuels for cars, trucks, and heavy equipment.
But economic nudges and promises of “free” government money have created a market for fraud. As Cato's Adam Michel wrote, an inspector general's report into the biofuel subsidy found fraud running free and wild.
Among the more brazen examples is this gem:
That's a lot of nudging. But it might pale in comparison to the wave of green energy government incentives packed inside the ill-named Inflation Reduction Act (IRA):
How much money are we talking about here?
No one can say they weren't warned about the potential, or more accurately, the engraved invitation, for fraudsters to feast at this barely supervised subsidy buffet.
A wise and prudent government – that also happens to be deeply in debt – would make sure to track every penny of such subsidized activity to ensure it's used as intended. Ours will likely be too busy nudging more people to line up at the cash window to get their share.
And then have the gall to act shocked and amazed that thieves and grifters walked off with so much of the proceeds.
