Right on.  The credits inspired a lot of different approaches, a lot of 
people brainstorming at the same time.  Many of the ideas didn't fly.  When 
the subsidies were killed, it left a lot of people hanging.  It was a 
perfect move to make RE look ridiculous.

The dysfunctional systems would have lost their market with time, 
anyway.  People were still paying good money for the systems and wanted to 
get something for their investment.  If the process were allowed to 
continue, RE would be miles ahead of where it is today.  We would be world 
leaders, instead of lagging behind.
