Re: “Race on to boost battery range in colder weather — Some worry problem could limit adoption,” Sunday news story. Smith writes that renewable energy is unable to be economically competitive with fossil fuels without receiving “massive government subsidies and tax credits.” As the world population grows and standards of living rise, global energy demand increases, too. It is important that more of this energy comes from the United States.
