“Government subsidies” are at best inefficiently distributed, and at worst used to reward political patronage. Everything the government does is done poorly and is eventually done corruptly.

Gov't should fund research only.

They shouldn't fund programs until they are proven viable. And then and only then funding of production should come in the form of loans to help them get started.

If ethanol production still needed to be subsidized with oil over $100 a barrel, it’ll never compete in the market.

So if we DON’T pump out and consume all of that oil that is at the bottom of the ocean, does that mean we will have to just “accept” tarballs of oil naturally rising to the surface and floating to our shorelines?

Ecoweenies are dumb.

Ethanol does not belong in the list. It is not efficient to make and it doesn’t have all that much energy in it.

burning food for energy is an act of desperation, not a “green” act.

This fuel costs $10 a gallon. If you give me $7.00, I’ll sell it to you for only $4.00 a gallon. (The extra dollar is a tax on the $7.00 tax you just paid.) Now my fuel is cost effective and can compete with more efficient fuels.

Not only "no," but...

HELL NO!!

The alternative "green energy" scam can only exist through smoke, mirrors, hidden grants, subsidies, "free" gifts, laundered "stimulus" money, all ultimately taxpayer money!

Has anyone besides me noticed how many "alternative energy" projects are "gifts?" and that full costs of financing, construction and maintenance are never revealed? Hell, those costs are studiously NEVER RECORDED!
Yeah. From the money fairy.

When reality finally sinks in, it will be tar and feathers time.

First the minions are carefully brainwashed into thinking things AGW and basics such as CO2 somehow causes a rise in the global temperatures of earth are true...then you send out polls asking them what they think on "proposed corrective measures".
What a joke. The Russians (Soviets) must sit back in envy as they watch these things unfold.

Thanks to TheOldlady for da ping!

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them.
