Nor should they have been as part of an emergency virus rescue package. That was reprehensible.One of the sticking points on the covid-19 stimulus was the issue of whether green energy incentives should be extended due to projects being stalled - they were not.
But back to the point of whether subsidies (if they're going to give them at all) should go to consumers vs manufacturers, it's also just easier to sell when it goes to consumers instead. Even though those of us here understand that it's really just a pass-thru to the manufacturers, many people that don't think it through don't understand that. So on the surface, it's an easier sell to subsidize consumers instead. Perception (even if flawed) often means more than reality for such things.
Of course, even better is just building products that are so good that consumers wanna buy them without subsidies.
