Question:
why does the us gov spend 50 billion on solar panels... free electricty within 5 years there paid off and itd probley save like ten million barrels of oil a year and create alot of jobs within the country

Answer:
I assume you have already invested in yours?
Good question.
Why don't you ask them...
that's too far ahead for them to look.
Because there is no clear profit in doing so for the oil companies and others who pay the goverment its bribes
Because almost all politicians are heavy stockholders in oil companies and the company are in every pocket in DC
Because that's called socialism.
Great question. One I really cant answer. I think that our government officials benefit from all the oil sold. They are shareholders of the benefiting companies.
Because big oil already has the big bucks, the connections and the infrastructure. See that new movie yet, who killed the electric car?
Capitalism
