It appears that all his calculations in the article are done without subsidies factored in.

It also ignores the subsidies being provided.

your reasoning assumes no subsidies

Still not seeing any subsidies. Subtracting costs from revenue is not a subsidy.

I don't see a mention of subsidies. Any details?

Interesting. But I don't think anyone qualifies for a subsidy.

Companies keeping their own money is not a subsidy. The article is dishonest.

that's not what subsidies mean.

There might even be a good argument against subsidies. But the article was not it.

That's not what a subsidy is.

Are they counting welfare and government subsidies as income? I think not.

You are way overestimating the effect of subsidies.

The subsidies created the scale and experience required to lower the costs; they're not included in the cost numbers. With current technology, they are cheaper without subsidies.

Hardly a subsidy if it can't be spent ;)

Torkild | karma 0 | avg karma 0.0 · | 2013-08-01 15:25:13+00:00

Either way, it won't be corporate subsidies.

b_tterc_p | karma 2383 | avg karma 2.54 · | 2019-03-28 20:31:02

but this is absurd levels of subsidy. Seems too much to be believed.

justincormack | karma 11120 | avg karma 2.4 · | 2015-07-12 13:53:00+00:00

If you read the article, this is a profitable investment, not a subsidy.

#7 isn't really a subsidy
