Pfund said, “All new energy industries — timber, coal, oil and gas, nuclear — have received substantial government support at a pivotal time in their early growth, creating millions of jobs and significant economic growth,” adding, “Subsidies for these ‘traditional’ energy sources were many, many times what we are spending today on renewables.”[/quote]
This is exactly what I’m talking about. All of these subsidies have been around for a long time and it only get bigger. Now, people are complaining we need to add more for the next industry. 50 years from now, we will need to give even more to the next industry. When will it end? We don’t even have money to help our homeless. Why not start with that first. I don’t want to continue to feed this beast called crony capitalism. You say you’re against crony capitalism but you’re advocating to keep on feeding the beast.
