Oregon may well be the first state to require new vehicles be powered by wind but only with the use of transparent sails so they don't mess up the "viewshed".

All the Dimmies sing the same sad song about Fox, and it goes like this: "You light up my lies...."That's because you're in cahoots with people who have zero morality when it comes to reporting truth. Truth seems to be anything that gets in the way of their collecting undeserved foundation moneys procured by a systematic alteration of reports to the point of being fiction.I wouldn't trust that source for anyone's term paper.
You mean as compared to Fox Opinions, propagandist to the GOP?

Given AGW and peak oil, why would any corporation or person oppose the inevitable change from temporary energy sources to permanent energy sources?
Our, as that question is typically framed, what's in it for them?
The answer to that is almost always money.
The source of their payoffs is the same. We, the people.
For fossil fuel corporations, every carbon molecule still on earth, as compared to in the atmosphere where they relocate them to, is a unit of profit. And, as the decisions that we make on energy sources are measured in decades, as they are based on the machinery necessary to extract the energy from its source, the decision is made a decade or so before realization, and determines fuel use for many decades after. What fossil fuel companies have to do to ensure their profitability is to make sure that there will always be machinery out there demanding their fuel, until the last molecule has been turned into profit.
The denialists payoff is different. Theirs is the risk that some of every dollar spent on machinery to harvest energy from permanent sources comes from their wallets, whereby the benefit is more to their children and grandchildren, than to them.
So, it's all about money. And the corporate and personal greed that stems from, it's only and always about me.
A pitiful revelation about the miasma that conservatives have brought about in American culture.

Given that it's inevitable, why waste trillions in tax dollars to force it early?
When the market decided crude oil worked better and cheaper than whale oil, the market shifted.
When the market decides more expensive and less reliable "green energy" is better than reliable fossil fuels, the market will make that shift. Stop wasting tax dollars on Solyndras.

As I said, what fuel that any energy creator uses has about a 10 year lead time. It takes that long from start to finish for a project to result in energy available from whatever source is chosen to materialize. Much, much longer for nuclear.
All of that comes from private funding.
What the government is doing is investing in the technology because no other source makes sense. Why should each power company, for example, fund PV cell or battery technology when the need for and benefit from it will accrue to all of us. Given that, why shouldn't we all invest?
Most other subsidies are loan guarantees which are required at this stage because no private investors will take the risk. Again, why not spread the risk to everyone?
Every major technilogical change has come about this same way.

Feel free to invest your own private funds. Leave my tax dollars out of it.
Government is notoriously awful when it comes to funding "green energy".
I could give you a list of the expensive failures where money was given to Obama supporters, but I'm sure you've already seen them.

" Private companies will invest when they decide the reward is worth the risk."
Private companies will invest when they decide the reward TO THEM is worth the risk TO THEM.
Keep in mind that there's no such thing as business. Only millions of businesses each trying to optimize only themselves, and only financially.
The only way impacts on all of us are managed is by government.
Thats why your statement, "Government is notoriously awful when it comes to funding "green energy" begs the question, compared to whom? They are the only one in the business of satisfying all of us.

No kidding, ya idjit!
Look around, those decisions are responsible for your high standard of living.
Obama will invest my money when he decides the reward TO OBAMA outweighs the risk TO MY MONEY. Which is everytime.

You may be satisfied with the money wasted on Solyndra. I'm not.

I've never seen more compelling evidence of the power of brain washing and propaganda than the conservative cult created by Fox Opinions.
Talk about in goose step about every single detail of every single issue. It is amazing.
And every day they come to places like this and get proven wrong in so many ways, but reject all of that learning out of hand because it's not what the Fox boobs and boobies said.
They can be told anything at all by THE PARTY and never question a thing.
Anybody who doesn't rank that power among the biggest threats that democracy has ever faced is in big time denial.

Clearly if people like you were in charge we would not have had the pony express, the Telegraph, the railroads, automobile roads, the telephone, airplanes, computers, the Internet, sustainable energy, or EVs. Without global leadership in those things go we would not have global leadership.
One of the most important reasons to keep conservatives out of government and business.

Obviously no advances ever happened without government giving tax money to political cronies. Why do we bother with the private sector at all?
We should just let government spend all the money in the economy.
They obviously do a better job than individuals do.
More k00k losing........dang......I find something every day!!!
It?s Not Just Winter, It?s a New Ice Age
Japan slashes greenhouse gas reduction target
Tokyo said the new target for 2020 -- 3.8 percent below 2005 levels -- replaces an ambitious goal to slash emissions by one-quarter from 1990 levels.
The new target, which accounts for idling the country's nuclear reactors after the worst atomic accident in a generation, represents about a three percent rise over levels in 1990, the base year for the Kyoto Protocol, according to the environment ministry.
LOL!

It has to do with a democracy's need for an "informed electorate". Fox is working in the opposite direction.
