Well, the ones pushing this niche energy source got two things: a heads up to get their relatives to invest in CCP tech, kickbacks to fund campaigns.
Only $$.
Ditto for windmills.
When one considers the cash flow through campaign contributions, sweetheart investment deals and money laundering through allied non-profits and NGOs, it’s easy to see why our so-called representatives don’t see it as a failure.
Because wasting energy is VERY profitable for investors in the energy business that buy government bonds at the artificially low interest rates they set.
Control. It’s what’s for public policy.

Just a thought. They knew they were wrong but did not care because it was to their or their cronies advantage $$$$ to push for it.
I honestly dont know about about energy or energy storage, but it seems like it would be fairly easy to make something extemely heavy that was lifted thoughout the day by solar and that fell and produced energy at night.
There it is. They weren’t ‘wrong’...they were stealing money from the taxpayer.
Or in their mind “The bottomless cookie jar!”
Renewable energy is a religion. Religion requires faith. Turns out renewable energy is a false religion. The more wrong someone is, the harder they will cling to their belief.
They weren’t ‘wrong’, they lied.
Maybe someone could invent..... water. Combine the water and the Sun and ... voila... all our energy problems will be solved and the inventor will be crazy rich.

So much in this article is nonsense. But especially:
‘Who doesn’t want development of solar energy? Simple: China and the Arab nations.”
China makes almost all of our solar panels and the electronics that go with them. At least some of the electronics our braindead green-agenda leaders have subsidized and sourced from China frequently “call home” to China.
China would love for us to become even more dependent on them and our grid even more susceptible to their hacking.
IMHO, no electronics, solar panels, transformers, or any other portion of our electric grid or our pipeline grid should be sourced from China.
>> China makes almost all of our solar panels and the electronics that go with them. At least some of the electronics our braindead green-agenda leaders have subsidized and sourced from China frequently “call home” to China. <<
That doesn’t make your case. China loses money selling PV panels, which the Trump administration has correctly assessed is done to prevent the United States from developing its own PV industry. By doing so they simultaneously reduce American demand and ensure their own energy independence.
>> They weren’t ‘wrong’, they lied. <<
That’s the rhetorical suggestion.
You can’t run an industrial economy on Hopes and Wishes. Solar & Wind power are intermittant and backup batteries are prone to overheating and catching fire — frequently.
Can this be overcome with technology on the current drawing boards? Yes, but in what time frame? With politicians picking winners & losers on the next technology, and any of us be certain that the correct selection will be made?
>> Renewable energy is a religion. Religion requires faith. Turns out renewable energy is a false religion. The more wrong someone is, the harder they will cling to their belief. <<
And yet, renewable energy is now cheaper than natural gas (even with battery storage) and more commonly used than coal. Remember when your co-religionists said Tesla could never turn a profit?
