Solar Subsidies [RE-wrenches]

[Todd Cory, Mt. Shasta Energy Services]

Probably people will not be outraged at the subsidies until their kid(s) come
home in a box from fighting for "cheap" oil. Then the cost becomes personal, and
until then the deaths of other people's children or degradation of "their"
ecosystems is just too abstract for the small mind of most in selfish,
culturally insulated, wealthy countries like amerika.
