That said... our government is already adding artificial incentives, so maybe they would continue adding more.

Overall I agree with you except on your subsidies point, I think the correct route is to remove the current built in subsidies on fossil fuels by charging a fee to pollute. Then the free market will act accordingly to avoid the pollution not to be good, but to save $$
