What if they're both bad? Then neither is "better", there's just "least bad".

OMFG, what is wrong with you people? Which is better and why. If you think they both suck then the better one would suck less. It is really not all that complicated.

They will both do 0 to help the environment and will both enrich politically connected companies at the expense of competition which could solve the problem assuming of course that there is a problem that needs solving and if there is that anything done by people can solve the problem.

So you are suggesting that the price elasticity of energy consumption is zero and people will consume the same amount of energy regardless of the price. I think you are probably the only person on earth who holds that opinion.
Hanging v firing squad on a social level would depend on which (if either) has greater deterrence value or which provided more comfort to the victim's family, depending on the stated goals in carrying out the capital punishment.
