Why should the fossil fuel industry receive subsidies, huge sums of money, when solar power is more efficient and cheaper to produce….it saves money.
Solar power cells could make the USA energy self sufficient if the same level of funding was applied as is now applied to the fossil fuel industries.
Huge profits are made from fossil fuels, yet these industries are also collecting corporate welfare which amounts to billions of dollars all of which is funded by the tax payer who is also the consumer.
Adequate funding of solar power would create many thousands of new jobs, jobs that are desperately needed…it would also allow North America to become self sufficient in respect to its energy needs now and in the future.
Solar power cells are efficient and cost effective, with minimal pollution.
Let’s get solar cell technology out into the light of day and reveal it for what it is…the answer to our energy needs.
It has been proven in countries receiving a fraction of the sunlight the USA receives during a year and it’s working very well. It would work even better in Canada and the USA.
There are answers, there are solutions, but is there the will to make the leap?

Solar cells have not reached the same level of low cost as oil and gas in this country; however you are correct that if you factor in the subsidies to the oil and gas industries, cost of pollution, transportation, cost of protection by military might, infrastructure costs, etc., it is by far in excess of silicon wafer solar cell technology or passive retro-fitting house technology.
Less grid technology and infrastructure is needed if each home has its own energy generator/power grid and its own wi-fi or communications projector.
