Imagine how the smart phone business would be like if the government subsidized companies the way they did Solyndra....
If that was the case then we’d all still be using the original blackberry and the gov’t would be investing our tax dollars trying to figure out how to make an affordable color screen that runs on solar power.
subsidies from the government rarely produce anything of
value in the consumer space.
they should direct their $$ to basic science in the form of grants, and stop the practice of predicting winners and losers in the marketplace.
they haven’t a clue about the market, the technology, or
how to bring the two togther.
