Also... Green Energy Subsidies don't increase technological advances in green energy. If anything they provide a huge incentive to NOT research.
I mean... Say your green energy costs $3.00 more on average then regular energy.
So you get a $3.00 Subsidy.
Why research further? I mean... lets say you dump billions of dollars into research so that your green energy no is only $1.50 more expensive on average.
What's going to happen? That government subsidy is probably going to be rolled back to $1.50. So you've spend billions... for nothing.
Why not just keep the status quo and collect the money?
Now you want a real incentive to create green energy products? Pass a bill saying you plan to turn the US Military into using 15% Renewable energies and just repalce the same spending your doing on the military anyway.
Nice net neutral way to kill two birds with one stone.
Companies would be KILLING themselves researching for that kind of contract.
