yeah the usual knee-jerk reaction, any money spent on anything enviro related is money wasted isn't it.

the german program is actually a pretty good example for this. do you think they're spending the money just to feel warm and fuzzy inside regardless of the inefficiency? this is germans you're talking about after all.. the solar program isn't about hype driven waste, its about investing in the economy of the future.

to... wait for it... make more money, and create jobs.

oil-burners don't seem to get that the status quo thats putting a few easy dollars in their pockets right now is very short sighted and not going to keep cruising along the same for ever.
