Re: "...and likely will remain at most marginally profitable"

LOL!

Compared to WHAT, exactly?

And... over WHAT TIME HORIZON are you making your predictions that "green" energy technologies will be "marginally profitable"?

(Wind... to pick just one technology out of a hat, seems perfectly profitable right now, assuming that transmission facilities are available... and geothermal is often an extremely reliable and low-cost power option in various suitable parts of the world. Thermal solar, sited correctly, is already cost-competitive with many conventional alternatives. Certainly when compared to non-renewables which will only increase in price with resource depletion.)
