Renewables need no subsidies. Market forces are working for green energy just fine.

[Lord of Planar]

When will we stop subsidizing fossil fuels? When we can do that, then stop subsidizing renewable energy.

You have to stop and think. Look at the specific type of subsidy and how much it is.

Damn. The left has dumbed so many people down so good. They first use the word improperly for so many years, the publishers of dictionaries changed the definition to match the misuse. The word subsidy now has no meaningful difference like it once did.

Most of what the fossil fuel industry gets is tax write-offs just like any other business gets. Green energy gets that plus so much more. Under the old definition of subsidy, the oil industry does not gets very little, if any. But green energy gets it in spades.

If you stopped, thought, and looked at the subsidies you could tell us how much they are. What do the numbers look like?

Green energy gets how much? What are the numbers you are basing your claims on?

the oil industry does not gets very little, if any.

What does this mean?

But green energy gets it in spades.

How much? Have you any numbers to back up your claim?

This is a lie that has been proven to LoP and longview repeatedly. The fossil fuel industry gets numerous, very lucrative, write-offs that no other businesses get.

They get write-off that others do not because they do operations and expenditures others do not.

You are doing it again. Failing to comprehend that words have meaning and changing the intent. Is this because of your lack of understanding, or do you think your fellow lefties will not see your deceptions?

When I said "the fossil fuel industry gets is tax write-offs just like any other business gets," that comply means they have legitimate line items to have deducted. Of course they get specific deductions that no other business gets, just like other businesses will get deductions for their industry that other industries do not get.

Why do you do this silly crap?

You are the one full of crap. You have been shown repeatedly that the write-offs that the fossil-fuel industry get are far more lucrative than anything other companies get. That is why they are called a subsidy.

I swear… you live in an alternate reality.

Yes, I know you think the cost of doing business should not be a write-off.

Did you know one thing claimed as a subsidy is not paying a carbon tax?

Yes, I know you think the cost of doing business should not be a write-off.

Yes, especially when no other businesses get comparable write-offs. The fact of the matter is that the fossil fuel industry is usually highly profitable and don’t need those write-offs.

What are you talking about? I am unaware of any carbon taxes being charged in the US.

It is claimed to be a subsidy they get because it isn't paid.

That's how damn stupid the people are that you listen to.

Yeah… it is taxes that the fossil fuel industry didn’t have to pay. Other businesses have to pay those taxes.

And I learned about these subsidies/write-offs from a business website. I also quoted and linked to them when I first debunked your and longviews misinformation on the subject. Other people have done the same from similar sites.

But you just go ahead and believe what you want and I will continue to point out the truth when you push your misinformation.
