It's also an intrusion into the free market system when huge amounts of government money are poured into particular technologies. If energy technologies truly are more efficient and desirable, businesses and consumers will buy and pay for them on their own. But if the only reason to acquire them is becauses of a government benefit, we lose the free market's capacity to let the best technologies succeed. Maybe the government's choices of which technologies to support are the best ones, but we haven't seen truly good judgement coming out of government, and especially not in recent years. In fact, government has made so many horrendously bad decisions in the Bush and Obama years, we should be quite concerned about letting them meddle in the economy on this scale.
