Because the sun isn't shining brightly enough, gorb. Perhaps if we disposed of our no longer wanted nuclear bombs in the sun, that would fix the problem.

#5 Now why on earth can't this technology stand on its own two feet?

Because the Green/environmental movement is full of technology and economic illiterates. Consequental, almost all green initiatives are just symbolism reinforced by social pressure, household recycling bins are good example.

Governments subsidize these things because they think they are popular, and they are right.

BTW, when I point out that most green initiatives waste resources and are 'unsustainable' I get a lot of irrational hostility.

People want to believe they can 'save the planet' through these silly, pointless and wasteful exercises. Personally I blame 50 years of progressive education.
