Really, Payne-in-the-ass? Your beloved Oiligarchies, Coaltels and nukeglomerates receive FORTY BILLION DOLLARS in direct cash subsidies EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!!You know nothing.
Yeah, the government never subsidizes anything. Railroads, air travel, public highways and utilities, health care. They all do it on their own, magically. Because the private sector LOVES risk and the opportunity to waste billions of dollars for the public good.
Frankly, if you can drop $100,000 on a new Tesla, you ought to be able to put $30,000 into a set of solar panels to remove your house from the grid and power up your own car.
Com Ed keeps sending me a chart showing me I used too much electricity last month, compared to my neighbors. Imagine how much more I would use to plug in an electric car.
" 79% of adults say that science has made life easier for most people and a majority is positive about science’s impact on the quality of health care, food and the environment.54% of adults consider U.S. scientific achievements to be either the best in the world (15%) or above average (39%) compared with other industrial countries.92% of AAAS scientists say scientific achievements in the U.S. are the best in the world (45%) or above average (47%).About seven-in-ten adults say that government investments in engineering and technology (72%) and in basic scientific research (71%) usually pay off in the long run. Some 61% say that government investment is essential for scientific progress, while 34% say private investment is enough to ensure scientific progress is made."
Simple solution – take away any subsidies for fossil fuels (some are over a century old from when oil was a new industry) and give them to clean energy. -———- Why wouldn’t you want to establish new industries in the US?

Through compromise the government is supposed to satisfy the needs of all the people not a small fraction that have a minimalist interpretation.
