I think Elon Musk would say it makes sense now and many of us agree with him.

Okay great post

Governments aren't insane, they just work to a different set of rules. What's popular today and how can I sell it to the rest of the people?

I disagree.
governments are irrational
I present all of history as an example.
what rational entity would pay farmers NOT to grow food during times of hunger?
What rational entity would mandate the destruction of assets during the great depression
what rational entity would intentionaly CAUSE said great depression?
the list of examples of government insanity is endless
(if you've ever been in the military?..)
if a person acts crazy...we call him crazy
the same for government.

government is insane

Governments are rational to their reward system, which is opposed to the rewards system used by business and hence just about everybody else.

Hah! Mine was when the power company quoted me $20k to run lines to my land. $20k will buy you a lot of solar kit. And it's a lot of fun.

Legos for big kids, man...

I feel your pain.
they did the same to me back in the eighties..
something like $10K a mile to run a new line?
so...I didn't do that.

I agree! I can not wait for the day my family will be off the grid, somewhere with a nice but small house , some solar panels, maybe a wind turbine , our own water source, a garden where we can grow our own veggies, a small farm for the animals ( though I can not bring myself to killing animals for food .... )
We also need Tesla or another company to perfect those storage batteries.
Followed and upvoted with my full 2 cents

thank you
