      Or oil and coal, propping up bad energy sources while the clean ones have to often fend for themselves and compete against the subsidies.

          Not as much as it needs to to compete fairly with the $7 trillion for fossil fuels. The fact they still can compete is great though. It shows how dead fossil fuels should be even if it was just left up to capitalistic mechanisms. Sadly the government interferes in the market in a bad way often for this.
