You are entitled to your opinion, but your opinions are not facts.

So when I read an article about legislation to provide an income tax credit for home and small business batteries, that is not biased, even though I found the article on Google. Likewise, if a congressional committee appropriates more money for the national labs to research batteries, that is not biased. Or if Solar City gets a substantially larger credit line, that is not biased.

Yes there are subsidies, but there are a lot of different subsidies. It would appear that the nation would like to lower energy intensity and emissions, which seems very desirable.

It is happening all over the world and they are not seeking your approval.

Even Saudi Arabia recognizes that the fossil fuel age will eventually end and has a plan to transition.

What I have shared with you is largely based on personal experience. I have gotten my hands dirty and found out through experience that the reality does not match the hype. I have had a life long interest in alternative energy. My favorite book as a child was The Boy Electrician by Alfred P. Morgan. It had sections on building homemade electric motors and generators. It was originally published in 1913. Alfred P. Morgan was a pioneer in several areas and still one of my greatest heroes. He wrote an entire series of books that sparked the imagination of several generations of engineers and scientists. The book is now in the public domain. I am biased, but I still love looking through it.

It is true that at some point the world will transition away from fossil fuels. The problem is that nothing good comes from government manipulation by crony capitalists. There is too much hype out there based on faulty assumptions and wishful thinking. And that is my own opinion based on my own experience.
