Why would the right get behind this idea? They don't want the government investing in anything. They just want private companies to assume the entire burden, and offload the expense directly onto the consumer.
No, that's what they say they want. In practice, they give government resources away or turn a blind eye to rising rates for whatever company gives them campaign contributions.
What burden? It's not burden, it's sales. A switch to renewables means your loss on investments in producing and delivering gas and benzene. So you protect yourself by lobbying laws that won't allow anyone to "get the energy out of the thin air"
Wait. Are you suggesting they would use actual liquid cash as their start-up investment?
