When You Let Hoopla Replace The Market You Get Stupidity

SEE HERE I'm sorry all you green posturing urbanites who think that wind and waves and sunlight will power the planet ... it's not going to happen because you can't afford it and stealing from your neighbors to subsidize it is just throwing perfectly good money away. If it worked the market would already be implementing it. I've been scammed too many times by people who tried to get me to put "energy saving" solutions that were not economic in place because of a subsidy. Solar water heating, solar energy panels, windmills ... all that stuff looks great if you don't bother to actually make measurements and count the costs. When you do you find that it's nowhere near the point it needs to be to be worth doing. I have no problem with some investment in further development of the technology. Maybe we can find a way to make it more efficient. But putting it on-line at it's present cost is just another way to bankrupt us and I'll let you in on a little secret. We're already bankrupt. If we weren't the largest economy and the reserve currency of the world we'd already be paupers.
