No, because the action needs to be in the ability to store all this energy for a long term.
Solar is useless and the adjusted gas fuels both pollute the water we drink and blow the engines up over time.

They should work on cheap desalinization.
Someone should come up with a chemical solution to break down nuclear waste to a benign state.

We have been subsidizing Solar Energy
for over thirty years.

It is just not profitable nor cost effective.

Let me re clarify what I mean by saying " Yes, DITTOS GOOD "
I meant, yes, I agree with you that the government should not subsidize renewable energy, let the markets take care of that when there is a real demand for it, and when it's a viable option to oil and gas energy.

Not no, hell no.

Texas leads in the tilting at windmills category and even with the infrastructure paid for, they still cannot produce a reasonably priced product.
