How come U.S. Lawmakers oppose renewable energy grants?

Hey Josh, Reading is exactly right about one point, the oil companies are probably one of the top three groups donating to election coffers. There is more to the point though. First, not all laymakers are opposed to it. If that were true, there wouldn't be any grants. We actually live in a home that is powered by the wind and sun, and part of it was paid for by a grant over 10 years ago. Grant money for these things has actually increased since then. But you never hear much about it in the news, only the windy ones get their names in the limelight. I personally think the reason you hear so much negative comment from some politicians about renewable energy grants is because the practice has evolved so far and wide, that for whatever reason, the few that do oppose it are making all the noise.
There is also the fact that in many states, oil has become the large, accepted economy there. Take Houston, it would be hard for someone from there to be elected to office without making statements like that, so in the end, they might say what is necessary to get into office rather than what they might really think. We went through all this about 20 years ago with tabacco. We still have places like Winston-Salem, but they are fewer and farther between than places like Houston. Many of our politicians grew up during the big oil boon days of the 70's and 80's too. Asking them to help out with renewable energy research and developement is like asking a child of the great depression to help find ways to increase consumer spending to help the economy. Even if you have a good argument, there is no point in making it there.
It sounds like you're into renewable energy by the way your question is worded. I'll include some websites below if you're interested in learning more, and you might find some grant info there as well. Take care Josh, Rudydoo
