I'm against the subsidies too, but wanted to clear any confusion.

I suspect that the majority of subsidies, perhaps all, that are in the name of "saving the world" are corrupt political maneuvers to gain political favor and cater to special interests.

As I've said, if we were serious about reducing CO2 emissions, we'd simply tax the burning of fossil fuels at a higher rate. Everything else is ignorance at best, and a lie at worst.
