2. Who knows? The last time there was any significant increase in R&D funding it was attached to the stimulus bill in 09 (a one year increase of $13 billion). I have not seen, or heard of, any other specific bills just targeting renewable energy research. If there are any they're probably attached to other bills. Which happens a lot more than you'd think it does. Why is the only solution supporting something as bad as the GND?

Trump said the American people must be willing to accept financial hardships to win the trade war with China so that "we" can have better deals.

But we can't accept financial hardships to protect our water and air (those darn regulations) or any New Green Deal because that would cost money.  Or a national health care system.

It's a weird dichotomy.  It's okay for citizens to suffer so businesses can make more money but it's not okay for businesses to suffer so everyone can live healthfully.
