Subsidies? Have you forgotten the government subsidizing electrical power to rural communities beginning around 1935? | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Many folks think of subsidies as discounts they personally get -- for example the $7,500 per vehicle tax credit for electric cars (now phasing out). But there's many less visible subsidies for such vehicles: << State rebates and other benefits (reduced registration fees, carpool-lane access, etc.) in California, as well as in 44 other states and the District of Columbia. Same variety of subsidies seem likely for wind & solar energy. So we're all paying portions of those costs. |
