That isnt the point and I will assume you are intelligent enough to know that. Using that type of diversion makes you look stupid. Just in case, the point is that by subsidising an industry, they have taken the lead in it.

America, Japan, Germany - and every other successful industrialized nation has always done this..

Besides you dont need cars when you live in a small country with good public transport. It is a bad comparison. The taxes on the other hand. . . .

It's all relevant. We decide to spend our own money on solar panels, the small (and misguided) tax subsidies don't make much difference. Money not spent on alternative energy trinkets can be invested in something more useful like a generator. Money spent on 1 car in Denmark probably gets you 2 or 3 cars here. We can spend our time and energy saved doing more productive things. In the long run we will kick Denmark's butt by coming to market with what the people really need.
