No. I do believe there are SOME things we should subsidize if they cannot commercially be viable, for national security reasons.

And even in the case of SpaceX, that may be true. And we MUST have a viable agriculture sector which I would also visualize in a national security sense. Could that subsidization be done more intelligently? Absolutely.

No, I am not against ALL subsidization.

But I don’t believe in subsidizing electric cars or renewable energy except in a strictly conceptual sense in a limited way when starting out. I might make an exception for that to assist in getting over some initial research and development hurdles.

What we are doing now with subsidies in both electric vehicles and renewable energy is NOT that. Those subsidies are going directly into someone’s pockets, like Solyndra did.
