Public subsidies work, I'm not doubting that.

And yet, the solar panels I installed on my Seattle house a decade ago generated enough power to pay for themselves in six years. Solar works great here. Overcast skies are not a problem: solar panels don't care which direction the photons come from, and they work more efficiently at cooler temperatures.

That tells something about your local electricity market though, not about the energy or CO2 emission efficiency.
