That's been the argument all along yes. Although the specific argument in this thread is that the AB government's efforts to provide more incentives for solar energy is a waste of money because solar is a terrible expensive technology.
Again on subsidies, all energy sources are subsidized. The coal fired generators outside of Edmonton have been subsidized with no public health or carbon charges. That's changing, but we need to be intellectually honest about subsidies explicit or implicit.
