Careful with that last allegation. Consider that much of the reason oil prices are so low is precisely because of such incentives. The real cost of oil is much higher, albeit more difficult to pin down.
In contrast, I know exactly what it costs to produce a kW from my solar array. No wars are fought over the sun or canals under constant threat to stop it's rays from getting here.
But that's a really complicated and ugly tangent to follow.
