LOL - "better positioned" than an internet company? Yeah, who would have thought that getting into the energy business was probably a step too far for an internet search engine?

Yeah they are just a small fish...

Money doesnt know where its invested. They got out because they realized it was a bad investment, not because they dont have enough experience. At some point you have to believe the figures, not the political spin.

We have oil and coal industries that would not even be profitable without receiving the decades of massive federal subsidies that they do. Take away those federal handouts to oil and coal, the preferred companies of the rich, and see how fast "alternative energy" becomes very, very affordable.

Seriously? You dont think the "rich" would invest in "alternative energy" if it was profitable?

Using Google getting rid of several of their ancillary growth offshoots, including a strange foray into an entirely different field - energy - and refocusing the company on what they do - internet - is sure proof that the entire alternative energy field is non-profitable.



There are plenty of people making profit off alternative energy. I guess not you?

Take away the massive federal subsidy enabling handouts to coal, oil and gas, and watch which "energy" becomes profitable. Good lord, talk about living off the government teat - that's the very definition of the oil, coal and gas industries.

An amazing statement considering that virtually all alternative energy industries are almost exclusively propped up by Gov't subsidies.
