You and I agree here.

There is no way GE or anybody whould receive one dime of subsidy for anything they are developing that they expect to receive eventual profit from.

It's instructive that 14,000 wind turbines have been abandoned in the U.S. -- when their subsidies ran out.

That is the most telling single fact about the government's "green energy" policies. It incentivizes scams -- not improved technologies.
