Our government has backed an expensive and inefficient renewable energy tech - that's the only reason we're even having this conversation.
As opposed to our government backing an even more expensive and inefficient incumbent system?
By subsidizing solar power for domestic installations, that tax money is effectively being put back into the hands of the general public through savings, rather than into the coffers of multi-million dollar, often international corporations where it can further corrupt the system.
And I'd be happy to pay a "road use tax" even though I don't drive an EV (yet...). I figure I pay about $130/yr in gasoline tax, which if I switched to an EV I'd save about four or five times that easily.
