yes, we should. the issue is that its not just one technology that needs to improve for making solar energy viable to become the serious heavy power provider, but many different interlocking technologies. batteries, for example.
- vijayr 17y agoTrue. Tesla Motors got $465 mil loan from the US govt, what about the companies that are working to produce solar energy based products? Shouldn't the govt support them at least as much as they support companies like Tesla?
- noodle 17y agotesla is clearly a special case. the government doesn't normally hand out loans, and in this case it only handed out loans to financially viable car companies. other car companies got government loans that aren't as technologically cutting-edge.
