So what. If the government had supported the auto industry back then does that mean people like you would have still rode horses. It is foolish to oppose a good idea just because the government is involoved. The Chinese government is devoting billions of dollars to solar power. if we don't do something they will own our asses in 20 years.
Meanwhile here in the US the fossil fuel industry has finally admitted that fracking is the cause of the 900% increase in earthquakes in Oklahoma over the last few years. Then there is the increase in disease caused by air pollution and the effects on our environment. If we continue to tie our future to fossil fuels we are doomed.
