Well, I'm not in favor of jobs that are, essentially, funded by taxpayers and not by people needing and/or wanting that product.

Taxpayer subsidies have made many millionaires who never deserved it, and picked winners without the winners winning at anything except being in political favor. I am glad electical "green" subsidies will die.......now, perhaps we can truly discover what IS green (anything that needs a battery is probably NOT, or scarce non-environmentally friendly ingredients of any sort)..........I am unsure of ethanol subsidies, but they should dissappear also, IMO..........I do not believe corn ethanol is good for anything except the chosen pocketbooks.

I don't have a problem with batteries and solar panels as long as all the liberals take the responsibility for the contaminated environment that all the nonferrous and heavy metals will cause. What are you going to do with all that crap when it can't be recycled any more? Not to mention that it cost more to transport all that electricity for many miles in order to charge all those batteries. It creates less pollution to burn your fossil fuel at the source where you need it rather than pay for all the losses to transport the electricity. You guys never seem to be able to grasp what happens next as a result of your actions.
