You raise a fair concern. However, I wanted to inject some Realpolitik into our understanding of (mostly US) politics and policy discussions. I am not advocating a position on this legislation--it is more that I am bringing you a story about how domestic renewable incentives (a good thing for many in my estimation) can be conflated with IP concerns (a good thing for a few). Just the fact that the two are tied up together is fascinating to me from a framing point of view...politics, she is a complex beast.

If we cannot find a way to come together to incentivise wise steps for our future with the evidence about our future that we have right now, well, it makes me shudder...
