I'm sorry I thought I was clear. Let me try to make it clearer: > That seems like a recipe for folks just building endlessly regardless of demand In some ways, yes. If so, it definite could create a problem wherein there's more supply than demand. > pulling money from government... The ethics of government capture aside, this sounds to me like that's rather the _point_ of a government subsidy on something: to build more supply of that something. > and an eventual mess when you fix it and nobody is making money suddenly... Fix what? The idea that there's too much electricity and so nobody makes money? Then come up with another way to use the electricity. Charge money to use the excess electricity for something useful. For example: capturing carbon.
