Many Alternative Energy Experts Tell Us Now Is The Time To Invest


Not long ago, an alternative energy sector guru, friends with Al Gore supposedly, told our think tank the he believed now was the optimal time to invest. I disagreed for several reasons, pointed to recent bankruptcies, changes in political guard, cost per kilowatt hour, transmission lines, unreliability of solar and wind, and great losses to investors owning such "green stocks" or environmentally friendly portfolios.
He indicated that he "believed" that the private sector is jumping in to invest in alternative energy, nah, not from the IBD, WSJ, Financial Times or CNBC reports, sure people invest when they get incentives, or Tesla sells cars when people get rebates, or a free-diamond lane pass, etc, but take away the subsidies and incentives from governments' picking losers game and all that collapses, Ethanol as an example.
That is not free-market thinking, that is just disgusting, and after spending all that stimulus money for those so-called 6-million pie-in-the-sky jobs, we have next to nothing to show for it except empty building shells and bankruptcies. It's just more unintended consequences, government uses the free-market players to serve its will then turns on them leaves them holding the bag when things go south. The only way to make money in that game is to get in, get yours, and get out before the government Bubble Builders go pop.
Yes theoretically, except if one (no not me) is concerned with "Inequality" then when people cannot afford those homes they are stuck renting for the rest of their lives. I'd like it if all these new materials came to market and the Construction Union Tradesmen folks wouldn't work so hard to hijack the LEEDS initiatives and process and jump on board for a false Global Warming Theory only so they can "get theirs" and tap into the money stream, scheme, agenda and plan.
We need innovative materials and the building sector definitely has been proactive in that, but any lowered energy costs are killed by alternative energy inefficiencies due to weakness because of subsidies and incentives as there is no real profit incentive to become more efficient as their competition is being pummeled by over-regulation, taxation and attacks by the IPCC agenda and populist brain-washed masses using government as a proxy weapon against that which the HATE, but clearly don't know why.

Higher pay for workers only means the energy costs more or we create what looks like wholesale inflation, which works as a tax on nearly everything in the supply chain, since everything requires energy. Then because the alternative energy sector cannot compete, it fails, meaning Spiro also is wrong, investors will not come in droves, rather running away like Jamaican Olympic sprinters.
