rycerz, Sounds like a wonderful idea to me. We should do it here. And not just with wind and solar. Use similar nationalist programs for the auto industry, textiles, nuclear power, wherever we have begun to lag behind. And at least partly pay for it with sky high tariffs on a whole host of imports. Works for me. Slagle

"subsidizing solar industry for around $5 billion per year?" Imagine if we were subsidizng ethanol at that tune!! Three years ago I read: Germany has money to be a rich country between 5 to ten years. Now it is down to 2 to 7 years. I started looking to countries under that perspective and it is proving correct. A subsidy is taking money from a productive sector with a surplus to an improductive sector. That Europe has been doing for decades with agriculture. (When Brazil competes in the world market its is competing with the US and EU treasuries.) It comes one time the money runs out.
