Question by Liam: Green energy should not be funded?
right now, we live off fossil fuels. Fact. But the gov’t should not promote green energy because gas companies will slowly find it harder to find gas. as it gets harder, the price for consumers goes up, thus, once the price is too high, someone will develope a new technology thats cheaper and probably cleaner to use thats better than the crap the govt wants us to use and people will start using that more. Basic economics.

The fact of the matter is that private industry, once politicized, has FAILED. Solyndra and solar something or other are excellent examples, but so many others exist, having been put on government assistance.
There are inventions in the solar industry that create the power of a thousand suns, in the size of a satellite dish. But they are too expensive to operate. Once the cost/productivity ratio is leveled, by science, engineering, and economics, this sort of thing will take off, no thanks to Uncle Sam.
Fossil fuels exist to keep us going another century or two. And that’s what is known. The unknown, even as small as we are in the universe, is huge.
