Re: Libertas's Decan Ganley (4.00 / 3)

Well, it's not as if existing renewable technologies haven't already filled the bill. More new technologies would seem to muddy the water, as is happening with bio-fuels. Metaphorically, it's like the bio-fuels financier told me at a meeting last year: "We don't need any new technologies, we need more trucks and raw material infrastructure, that's all."

Re: Libertas's Decan Ganley (none / 1)

Hm -- well, even if the biofuels guys are just bad and neither wind nor silocon solar are in need of big R&D support mechanisms, I do support public spending on research of dry-rock geothermal, wave, tidal, non-silicon solar, and various forms of energy storage.
