Cato's natural resource studies department was established to challenge the "market failure" critique of free markets with regards to the energy industry and the environmental commons. The Institute strives to promote policies that would help protect the environment without sacrificing economic liberty, goals that Jerry Taylor, director of natural resource studies, believes are mutually supporting, not mutually exclusive. Through books, monographs, conferences, forums, op-eds, speeches, congressional testimony, and TV and radio appearances, the Cato scholars address a wide range of energy and environmental issues -- from sustainable development, global warming, public lands management, chemical risk assessment, ecosystem health, urban sprawl, pollution, and general regulatory reform to electricity deregulation, renewable energy, energy policy, and government funded research and development. In sum, Cato scholars argue that central planning is no more capable of providing for environmental protection than it is of ensuring economic growth. It is not "market failure" that leads to pollution, but government failure to recognize property rights and to hold polluters fully liable for their activities that leads to environmental degradation. Likewise, energy is no different from other goods produced in the marketplace and is not infected with market failures that justify government intervention.
