“But eventually, we’ll have a German-style epiphany and realize that alternative energy simply costs way more than the sort we’re used to using.”

If we can keep government out of the energy sector, the epiphany will be innovation.

Image a nearly limitless energy source which does not produce any CO2, no toxic byproducts, uses a waste product as a fuel source, and emits fresh water. Clean water and energy are its benefits.

This is what could happen in California in the next 10 years if government will stop picking winners and losers and will allow the free market to address the issues. The solution works for industry and the consumer. It will also reduce the tax burden to business and the consumer and create jobs.
