You guys are so short sighted. When automobiles came into use, a lot of people making horse related things started to lose jobs.
The car parked next to a horse and buggy didn't need tax incentives to sell. Neither did people need incentives to change over to coal from wood stoves. The advantage was inherent and easy to see for everyone. People aren't buying hybrids if they gave them away.
First: you cant change the laws of economics. Second: there must be 5000 songs about working in a coal mine. Not one is about how enjoyable the job is. True, the decline of the coal industry, compounded by automation, has cost thousands of jobs. And to that we must add the doctors, nurses, and hospital personnel treating black lung disease.
