Solar Subsidies [RE-wrenches]

[Todd Cory, Mt. Shasta Energy Services]

I couldn't agree more. If the playing field was leveled and subsidies on
carbon fuels were eliminated (and maybe even taxes imposed on such!) the "no
brainer" of using RE would BE the predominant paradigm and we would all be
way busier than we ever wanted to be.

The problem seems to be that too many "elected" leaders make too much money
off things the way they are. All we can hope for is some kind of awakening
before this path of collective suicide is completed.
