I think that everyone can agree that any new energy source usually requires huge PRIVATE investment and years to develop. If you do not believe this then that is just tough crap because history speaks for it self. My question is how are we supposed to develop new technology to take us into a cleaner and brighter future if government policy does nothing but destroy the economy effectively reducing the amount of money that companies have to invest in R & D and new tech. Their answer is usually that they will fund research to "fix" the problem. Tell me one government funded department, group, whatever that would fix the problem. Once the problem is fixed then no further funding is required as well as the department that fixed the problem and everyone is no longer needed, read out of a job. In other words, no one with a cushy job is going to cut their own head off. Anyone here wonder why the state can never seem to fix the roads once so it will last and do it right the first time? Those people are not that stupid.
