I believe, as many say they believe that everyone has the right to run his own life—to go to hell in his own fashion.

Libertarians primarily believe that energy resources must be part of a free market. This point of view is rooted in the minimum government intervention and offers a unique approach to addressing energy needs and environmental sustainability.

Free Market Energy Solutions

One of the core libertarian views on energy and resources engulf the fact that they believe that all forms of energy resources be it renewable or non-renewable must be driven by private sector and not the government. In a deregulated market, competition highly encourages efficiency, innovation and lower costs. Without government subsidies or mandates, businesses are incentivized to adopt the most cost-effective and innovative energy solutions.

The Role of Private Property Rights in Resource Management

Libertarians strongly support private property rights and see it as a mechanism for managing the natural resources responsibly. In libertarian views on energy and resources, private property rights play an integral part in resource management.

In India, we can see different resource management systems like the National Natural Resources Management System (NNRMS) and the Integrated Human Resource Management System among others, which collect data on resource management and are owned by the Government. This is in direct conflict with the libertarian views on energy and resources.

Conclusion

Libertarians believe in a free market operative system and in it the energy and resources must be available to all regardless of government intervention. Also, must be owned by the private sector.
