Since you have a problem with mandates in a free market.. how do you feel about subsidies?  Specifically Fossil fuel subsidies?

Estimated subsidies are $4.9 trillion worldwide in 2013 and $5.3 trillion in 2015 (6.5% of global GDP in both years). Undercharging for global warming accounts for 22% of the subsidy in 2013, air pollution 46%, broader vehicle externalities 13%, supply costs 11%, and general consumer taxes 8%. China was the biggest subsidizer in 2013 ($1.8 trillion), followed by the United States ($0.6 trillion), and Russia, the European Union, and India (each with about $0.3 trillion). Eliminating subsidies would have reduced global carbon emissions in 2013 by 21% and fossil fuel air pollution deaths 55%, while raising revenue of 4%, and social welfare by 2.2%, of global GDP.

Over the past century, the federal government has pumped more than $470 billion into the oil and gas industry in the form of generous, never-expiring tax breaks. Once intended to jump-start struggling domestic drillers, these incentives have become a tidy bonus for some of the world's most profitable companies.

Taxpayers currently subsidize the oil industry by as much as $4.8 billion a year, with about half of that going to the big five oil companies—ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, and ConocoPhillips—which get an average tax break of $3.34 on every barrel of domestic crude they produce. With Washington looking under the couch cushions for sources of new revenue, oil prices topping $100 a barrel, and the world feeling the heat from its dependence on fossil fuels, there's been a renewed push to close these decades-old loopholes. But history suggests that Big Oil won't let go of its perks without a brawl.

I again draw you to this graph..  How well of a job did the "free market" do going into the Pre Ethanol boom of $130+ Crude with the US sending Troops to defend FOREIGN sources of petroluem?

Note that the PRODUCTION response in the graph above includes.. "renewable fuels."
Since US Crude Oil production has yet to exceed it's 1970 record.. I noticed that descrepancy..

Although we have a ways to go to totally close the import gap.

However, I'm sure as a "cattle feeder" that you enjoyed the subsidies of grain buying down your costs.

However like White Shadow.. I agree with his perspective of supporting all areas of Agriculture.  

Including livestock feeding.  

How was it going competing for the consumers dollar when we were importing $100 per bbls crude?  While paying the taxes to support the military to facilitate such a wonderful "free market" scheme.
