Are the manufacturers in Germany close to being efficient enough to ship their bulky products all over the world at a price that will be competitive with more local production? With regard to subsidies provided to the fossil fuel and nuclear industries, does anyone ever talk about an income and expense computation from the taxpayer point of view? It is pretty obvious that there are subsidies and tax advantages for established energy industries, but it should also be pretty obvious that those industries ought to be paying a rather substantial tax bill. Does anyone know of a good source that counts up both sides of the ledger so that we can make good decisions about the value of the investment that we have made and are making in various forms of energy supply?
