As far as pissing away money, we seem to be experts at this. For example, during the 90's the US gave massive tax credits to companies (ATT, Qwest, etc.) for laying fiber optic cables. How much? About 25 billion in tax credits. Then, in it's infinite wisdom Congress deregulated this industry. Guess what that massive fiber optic infrastructure is doing now... it's about 90% unused and idle.

Let us not forget during the 2010s how we, I mean the president, gave away millions of hard working peoples money to the UAW so they could take over much of GM. Let us also look at how this new GM was given tax credits to the tune of 45 billion dollars as carry forward losses resulting from the structured bankruptcy. And to date, the American taxpayer is still awaiting repayment of the stock purchases which must get to 53/share in order to break even. GM is now 25.

Mike, oil based energy is not going to be cheap any more. That era is past. We are no longer in a world with a glut of cheap 3d world oil. Now there are countries that are going to outbid us for this resource. We are shipping a large amount of our refined oil products to Mexico because they will pay more. We needed a comprehensive energy policy 30 years ago when it was obvious that this was on the horizon. Carter tried, but Regan chose to regress and put the country back on the credit card instead. Now the debt is getting too high. You can't keep kicking this can down the road.

Mike, your linked article is six years old. Are you trying to prove BeGreen correct?

This horse has been beaten to death and is getting into more ash can territory. The OP's question has sort of been answered, but unfortunately not by first hand experience. Closing thread.
