Nothing wrong with the government subsidizing renewable. Economies of
scale will reduce the costs and at the same time the costs of non-
renewable fuels will continue to rise. At some point the scale tips
and the renewables become cheaper. Until then the government
accelerates the growth with subsidies. Just makes the inevitable
happen a few years sooner.

Bingo. I wonder how long we would have waited for an interstate highway
system if it had been left up to private enterprise to build it?

The irony of the above statement is that the Interstate system was a
big reason we are in some of the jams we are in today. They are a major
reason for urban sprawl, they contributed to the demise of alternate
forms of transportation, and increased our dependence on oil for
transporting EVERYTHING.
