Supply and demand?? Subsidize manufacturing of solar and wind generation. The demand would be instantaneous! And, as a bonus, the US could hold on to it’s fossil fuel supplies. Therefore, it would not represent a setback to big oil or coal. Regardless, these latter items are finite, in a sense, whereas the sun and wind are unlimited and free! If you use them there’s more and, in turn, more money to spend in all sectors of economy. The poor could be seen as another large market and would build demand for a wider spectrum of the economy……. That’s how it would work better!

I believe that the stimulus would have done better had some been invested in alternate energy systems applied unilatterally. That is, if it were available to the poor sector, which it was not, and is not because the poor don’t have the means to purchase conventional solar arrays, for example, then these people would have the means to generate their own required power for heat and lighting . Then,in turn, have more disposable money which would create demand (stimulate economy?). Not to mention the demand for production of solar and or wind generating systems (stimulate economy?). Of course it would create jobs to produce this increased demand for product! Instead incentives were only afforded to the rich in the form of tax credits and, apparently, the rich care not about the cost of power. Evidenced by the absence of installations on rich people’s homes. Maybe tax dollars could be used to facilitate power generation on house tops of the poor instead of using LIHEAP which only really represents sbsidy to conventional power companies and doesn’t even cover the cost in winter months. Efficient?
