  Not really. It's mainly about gaining market dominance on a technology they think is the future. They'll build them right next to the massive coal plant alongside a million other things they're subsidizing.

    Even if its not some altruistic reasons, they still are literally subsidizing this emissions reducing technology.

    Tho they are also going pretty ham on subsidizing renewable energy too.

      And we could be doing the same if we ditch big oil subsidies.
