I know.
Between you and I, that is a non-debatable point. We should not be subsidizing technological advances.
If GE, or whomever, honestly believes that wind power, or whatever, is eventually viable, the R + D should be on their dime or it isn’t viable.
Isn't that what we're seeing now? So-called "green energy" subsidies and loans simply serving as a device to reward contributors?
As a consequence, the whole "green energy" market is predicated on an artificial foundation -- virtually insuring that there will be no technological advances in wind & solar power which might eventually make them an efficient competitor.
