The jimp might have been a shareholder in a failed company--and
therefore, is a bit sensitive. Try, Rebound, jimp, see if you can
make 100 point in the first half hour.

Over the years I have been a shareholder in a few failed companies,
but I don't go crying about it in a physics group, ass hat.

FWIW I have never been stupid enough to invest any money in any "green"
company.

We taxpayers are getting real tired of bailing them out when they
fail.

You really are a lot dumber than I thought. "Green" investments in
general are better known as tax write offs.

Do green project fail at a higher or lower rate than all projects
that fail?

Are you a recipient of such money, Sam, or did
you insinuate that you are a tax cheat?

First, jimp, I thank you for providing links--links I enjoyed. I
cannot help but notice (other than by implication) that there is
no data comparing green to other sectors of the economy.

Again, other than your derogatory words, thanks for a decent reply.

Does that matter? Your original post, by the way, describes what
used to be called "price fixing" which is illegal when companies do it
but is apparently all right when governments do it.

How utterly unsurprising that crypto-capitalist globalists want to
protect their markets when their own ox gets gored.

Sure there is, ass hat, but you will have to pay an investment counselor
to get such information unless you have a large enough account at some
broker where the service would be free.

All you are going to get for free is some general industry stuff like this:
