Great deal for you, sucks for the rest of us taxpayers to subsidize it. 
Great business to be in, like solar in recent times - get millions/billions of guaranteed loans and subsidies for a product not as cost efficient as petroleum, go bankrupt, walk away rich. Where do I sign up?

Same place corn farmers / ethanol producers sign up for their subsidies on making their corn into ethanol. Something tax payers have been paying for for the past 30 years to the tune of way more (definitely) billions than solar / electric has been given the past decade they've been available to purchase.
Or you could get into the oil business which gets around 17 billion subsidized per year.
Subsidies are everywhere it's part of the job governments have. It's good to at least see it in an industry that needs it to start so that it can replace what we currently are running out of. Waiting until it's needed is too late.
