I believe that government intereference in business is usullay not a good idea - and that is whether we're talking about windfall profits taxes or subsidies.

What Alex is suggesting is basically a government funded loan program with performance benchmarks to determine what, if anything, must be paid back. Not a bad idea in general, but I fear the bureaucracy that would accompany such a thing.
