Answer to Question 1

The incentive programs change what electricity providers buy in order to produce electricity with lower emissions. The goods and services forgone are the opportunity cost of these programs. Compensation for higher energy prices is a transfer payment from taxpayers to consumers. Nothing is forgone and so it is not an opportunity cost.

Answer to Question 2

B
