<<if you wouldn't take my comment about subsidization out of context, it should be clear that I am trying to state that any form of major infrastructural progress has usually come out of public spending.>> Sorry, I was trying to get at the questions of "Is it effective?" & "Is it right?". <<Maybe all of those gas taxes we pay on each gallon of fuel should go into alternative energy programs>> I think "all" might be excessive = in some western states at least. <<Any movement towards energy independence will also require initial subsidization. >> I think the move toward liberalized building codes in reference to wood burning & allowing corn burners could have a massive impact without subsidization, though home heating is not the lions share of use. <<I'm a big fan of nuclear energy. It has received a very bad rap.>> Me too, though farmore the US than the USSR - Japan designs.
