The way that people rally around fossil fuels at even a modest increase in energy prices doesn't provide much hope for the future.

Subsidies are often useful when they're first introduced for a certain purpose. But the problem with the dynamic between government and industry is that once they are introduced, most of the time, it is very hard to make them go away.
