I am all for alternative energy sources IF they pay for themselves and they are not subsidized by others. To date, I am not aware of any that survive without heavy subsidizing by government and utilities (i.e. - customers).
Everyone would support “green and free energy”. Who wouldn’t? We do not have that now. The green energy market is a failure and it is full of corruption given the amount of public money that has been injected into the market.
Will we have it at some point in the future? I think so. Technology is improving dramatically and our ability to store electricity is improving as well. However, we are not there now (not even close) and forcing reliance on alternative energy production has distorted the market, raised prices for all of us, and it has made the corruptocrats and issue advocacy groups wealthy.
The market is distorted and corrupt. Current technologies have been oversold to politicians and utilities by issue advocacy groups with a wink and a nod (and bags of cash).
In other words.... the “green energy” market is like most of our markets. It is dominated by a few and the rest of us pay more for it.
I’m a go...but only if I can get my home “Mr Fusion” or a nice hydrogen fuel cell.
Green energy is always going to have massive taxpayer subsidies. Since the mid 70’s, they have been promising that they were close to making renewable energy profitable. It’s a scam that needs to be ended, once and for all.
