Even without stats to back it up, I'd say that this sounds correct. I love solar, but there are so many instances like this in society. For example, the war against terror (in the US and I guess various other western countries). You're far more likely to be killed by a right-wing extremist, than a terrorist who happens to come from an Islamic religion. Yet the spending on this war against terror is almost limitless. Imagine if 'TWAT' had been ignored, and the same money had been spent on obesity, or poverty. In fact, the US could have given all 45 million Americans, who live below the poverty line, 20k each. Actually, put that way, it makes 'TWAT' pretty cheap, especially when compared to the GFC.
