now as fucked up as that is, the question is the last trimester and 13% support it. The question was not "at the point of delivery" or "after the infant is born". and why has no polling ever asked those questions? because it was thought to be too goddamned ghoulish that NOBODY should support such a thing.

America got a good glimpse of the depravity of the radical feminist democrats over the last week.

I mean jesus, when Trump takes a side, it's never wider than a 70-30 split, and most of the time it is around 50-50.

but being on the wrong side of an 81-13 issue?

Well, presumably from new/unproven jurisdictions. Subsidies are supposed to be for immature industries, to get them going until they can stand on their own, or if there's a need to protect domestic production of something for reasons of national security -- we wouldn't want the DOD going to Korean shipyards so we prop up a few domestic ones. Wind and solar tax incentives are sunsetting. There's no reason to have any at all for oil or gas production in the US unless they're for fracking, which could be justified on the grounds of energy independence. So could renewables, which is why Nixon fired up research on them again after the '73 oil shocks.

Related only to technological advances, IMO AI will be the most impactful over the next 15 years.

Solar's gone mainstream -- the biggest builder is publicly traded, as are others. So are the utilities that buy the power. Batteries are supposedly next to graduate to mainstream capital and that costs plummet just like solar and wind have seen. It may be that very little is needed from Washington or state regulators unless they want to speed up the process. Subsidies are set to sunset in the next five years for renewables. Unsure about fossil fuels. But IMO there's a very strong argument that any/all subsidy should graduate to the next generation of renewables technologies, given the pace of emissions reductions. Time to start on those moonshot technologies that could really alter the course.

I agree with that. Forget subsidizing the solar or the fossil fuels. Put it all into batteries and moonshot tech for a bit, and then the moonshot stuff only. Stop subsidizing things that are commercial on their own. Batteries may end up being the bridge technology. There is some absolutely delightful intellectual firepower applied here that you don't see in many sectors of the economy. I heard last week about a plan to cover dam reservoirs with solar panels, which would have the effect of lowering evaporation and making the dams more resilient against drought and unpredictable rainfall. Fantastic idea to get around NIMBYism.
