Subsidies undoubtedly have a role to play but Silicon Valley venture capitalists, Vinod Kosla, Bill Gates, the Google guys, GE, Dupont, BP, GM, Midwest farmers and many others are spending a fortune on alternative energy. Of course the biggest potential to free the planet from fossil fuels is nuclear power and there hasn't been a reactor built in the US since 1979. Can't understand why no one would want a nuclear reactor in their back yard.
