Just because a company that was funded by the government went under is not the only case against Alt Energy. Alternative energy needs to be developed. As a country we need to develop alternative energy as we are slaves to the oil industry. Oil and Nuclear are NOT the answer. Oil is a Non Renewable resource there is a finite supply. The sun is not going out, and Wind is not going to stop, we harness these RENEWABLE resources and we win as a society and a country and not to mention Earth. Its thoughts like yours that are whats wrong with our energy policy. I would rather my tax dollars go towards Alt Energy than Oil Subsidies.

The private market will take care of it and do a better job when the government stops picking winners and losers. Oh, and follow the money,.....

BTW, I'm all for solar, wind and hydro electric power,......... But we are a long way away from producing energy that comes close what fossil fuels can. Fossil fuels still have the highest energy output per volume used.

We are a good deal away, but i think is closer than you think. Are we going to eliminate fossil fuels anytime soon. No. But the demand will continue to decrease as cars get more efficient and more geared towards EVs. The more electric vehicles we get, the more viable Solar and wind becomes. Solar panels main challenge is getting the output of the panels more efficient. But they have been increasing more and more every year. (I used to work for a company called Polytec which creates laser vibrometers (laser system that measures vibrations to a picometer) and they were essential in aiding the efficiency of solar panels among other things)
