The world has already provided significant subsidies to try to spur on green energy and in places like Germany, it's done little to reduce CO2 emissions while increasing energy costs for the average consumer. And we all know about Ontario, Europeans and Australians may accept 30-40c/kWh electricity but Canadians won't. |
Certainly valid.
My counter point would be that investigating renewable energy is still a relatively new technology. You make incremental breakthroughs (

If I am permitted to critique your source, it looks like Roger Andrews (the author of the link) is a contrarian to most climate scientists (see last paragraph):

It could be he's one of the 3% of the scientific community that disagrees with the climate data, ie an outlier?
