Renewable energy is in its infancy, taking baby steps...
I am for "all of the above" use of energy, but not willing to pay for trial and error.
Let's let the people trying to force the shit on us pay for the trail and error? If they want it so bad.
You want innovation without R&D? I've heard it all
I am all for "R&D" but tax money should never be used for such fraudulent purposes... Career politicians are too corrupt.
Why do you keep calling research and development fraud?
Lost tax payer money... Never to be recovered
