I agree for now.

Popular green alternatives such as Wind and Solar simply aren't viable.
In their current state, yes. But see my thread above. Why is it so hard to believe we can improve efficiency in these technologies over time?

So why is the US providing grants, loans, and tax credits for products that are not effective?

It's not just producing twice or three times the energy production of these renewables. It would require an exponential increase in efficiency over a very short period of time to just meet the current energy demands, not accounting for future demand increases.
These renewables are very, very ineffective. At some point, we will max out their production ability.

Take solar for example-- even if you made the panels free, you still have the balance of system-- steel to hold them up, wiring, inverters, etc. All mature commodity items that are not getting any cheaper with "research".
