If in order to make it viable such energy needs to be subsidized then it is not "affordable".That's a rather amusing position for someone in the IP world to take.

Actually there is a major difference - in one case you have fundamental R&D that results in "Internet" in the other case you have a bunch of crybabies that cannot make in the competitive energy market so they scream that the government should subsidize their more costly energy. Alex
