Paypal.

You are angry Pickens isn't getting grand subsidies? How un-conservative of you.

The collapse of the natural gas market cost him his investments in wind power and did in his wind plans.

Ironically, if visionary Musk helps improve battery technology and reduce production costs as he promises, it could make wind power much more attractive.

Um, lets see. I'd say Tesla. While subsidies help, they are still profitable without them. And SpaceX. The only subsidy I am aware of is for the Dragon2 capsule. Which isn't flying yet. And then there is SolarCity. Like the fossil fuel industry, the subsidies are nice, but not required for profitability. I mean Exxon gets a variety of subsidies and tax breaks. Do you want to claim they wouldn't exist without them?
