If we can get past the right and left politics for a moment, this really comes down to entrenched special interests and lobbyists fighting to maintain the status quo to keep their share of the pie. They have no interest in seeing the Solyndra's of the world take off and shape our energy future.

So what you're saying is due to conflicts of interest with our elected politicians, new and inventive companies are having a hard time getting off the ground. Well that sucks, because as long as those "conflicts of interest" exist, we're gonna be stuck in the same situation we're in today. Aka there's no hope.
