I think a subsidy is a good thing but there are a lot of people that dont have the money to install these expensive alternative fuels such as wind solar geothermal it seems that the companies are the one with the money ..i dont no why the tax payer cant get it now and pay on long term

Have to agree with Fessler on this. I think he’s right and have invested accordingly. Also, I couldn’t help but laugh at Mr. Marchetta’s coments above regarding government energy subsidies. Those going to renewables are a drop in the bucket compared to what fossil fuel companies get (and have for decades).

Recently priced geothermal, with govt credits a 4-5 year payback and I am ready to contract for this. Also priced solar for Maryland home. Outrageous prices. $10 a watt installed. Forty year payback. Foresee a lot of scam artists piling into this field and raising prices to more than the govt credits available. They will ruin this area for years to come. Most alternatives are years away from practicality.

I agree with David. There will be failures in the green energy sector, but that does not negate the fact that it will grow over the coming decades. Diversifying among alt energy options seems a good idea.

I appreciate Investment U giving readers different views of the world and the economy.

Alternative energy developed as a profit center independent of tax subsidies, benefitted by tax credits and incentives would be laudable and perhaps someday will be competitive with fossil fuels and worthy of investment dolars. But this panic over fossil fuels running out or producing carbon emissions and contributing to global climate change is irresponsible scientific consensus posturing as religion. There are plenty of fossil fuel reserves to tap off shore and within our borders. And doing so would effectively rein in end user prices. But that would justify a reason to nullify cap and trade taxation reducing the loot for our power mongers! Don’t sanction the looters by justifying not ready for prime time alternative energy schemes paid for by our tax dollars and unable to stand on their own profitable merits in free competition with current and abundant energy sources.
