Rubbish.
If in order to make it viable such energy needs to be subsidized then it is not "affordable".
That's a rather amusing position for someone in the IP world to take. I seem to recall DARPA subsidizing research into packet-switched computer networks, which (I'm told) gave rise to this "Internet" thing I keep hearing about.
Actually there is a major difference - in one case you have fundamental R&D that results in "Internet" in the other case you have a bunch of crybabies that cannot make in the competitive energy market so they scream that the government should subsidize their more costly energy. Alex
