       @troed @denki @echo_pbreyer There are tons of incentives and awarness campaigns done by the govs to make people switch to solar and EV. Places without those state interventions makes way less progress in that area. This is a needed shift for our society but it's not a short term bonus for consumers without those incentives. (It's a mid term one but most consumers don't think that far).This is the perfect exemple of state intervention pushing innovation IMHO :)

       @troed @denki @echo_pbreyer These incentives are still part of the reasons, because, has more people switch to those alternatives, the volume of production will allow for better prices. And then, you can remove incentives. That's what happened with EV also: the new models are cheaper because now the prod chains are well established, at the beginning it was not the case, so you had to push people to switch by  giving tax relief/money as incentives

       @troed @denki @echo_pbreyer Hum, the thing is, the answer is in the article you posted "The US federal government allocated more than $8 billion to research and development of solar energy technology". This is not "incentive" to buy, but incentive to research, and this is still state fostering innovation.

       @troed @denki @echo_pbreyer Ok, I see where you are going. Thanks for the clarification.  I think we agree at least on state funded research and public university work. It's just that IMHO, it goes against the idea that was suggested elsewhere in this thread that public sector is bad at fostering innovation, so I think it's part of the same debate. State funded researchs and higher education instits are public sector fostering inovation and have been a very strong driving force

       @stux Yeah but he just said in an interview that he only spread it as a private citizen, not as the president, so I suppose it's ok /s 🤡
