I was going to suggest, most new power sources need some initial stability to establish and get to an equal footing to the long established and susidised old sources.
I was going to suggest ethanol as a good example, they had a 10 cents a gallon subsidy for 20 years, and then it ended.
Wind energy and pkotovoltics doesn't have a good payoff, not a good future. They need a 1/3 cost subsidy today still, and then an ongoing subsidy of retail price support for a wholesale product?
I'm good with that if it's a 10 year deal and phase out over the next decade or two.
But I'm not seeing the phaseout, or how wind and photovoltaic is close to real wholesale electric costs, or a path to get an installation close to those costs?
Ethanol worked. The modest subsidy provided seed money and made lenders comfortable extending start up loans, and through time the process proved itself to be viable on its own. That is a success story.
Solar is mighty questionable? Sure sucks to need a 30-40% govt subsidy for your numbers to work.
I'm not against solar. But it needs better numbers than what we have to be sustainable?

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
