Like fossil fuels haven't been subsidized. Go back to complaining about unions and building codes.So-called renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuels, so it doesn't need subsidies or tax credits:
Renewable energy are outcompeting fossil fuel all across the world.
"Solar and wind are now almost always the least expensive and fastest option for new energy generation, according to the UN.
In 2024, data reveals that additions to global renewable energy capacity reached 582 gigawatts - a nearly 20 per cent increase from 2023 and the highest annual expansion since records began.
Almost all new power capacity built around the world came from renewables, and almost every continent on Earth added more renewables capacity than fossil fuels last year."...

And yet I can remember not long ago the gop and its supporters saying the exact opposite, green energy is more expensive than fossil fuel.So-called renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuels, so it doesn't need subsidies or tax credits:

His negativity towards just about everything is a real buzz kill.Like fossil fuels haven't been subsidized. Go back to complaining about unions and building codes.
The green energy initiative has been lower because tax dollars were paying for a large part of it. This means taxpayers were sublimenting the renewable energy and now they will not be if they are not in operation by next year.Interesting.New Law Could Make Electricity Bills Skyrocket in These 4 States - NewsBreak

They're going towards drill baby drill, who needs a clean environment?The green energy initiative has been lower because tax dollars were paying for a large part of it. This means taxpayers were sublimenting the renewable energy and now they will not be if they are not in operation by next year.
To say it's going to cost more is misleading, the cost is the same but the government isn't going to be paying for 30-40% of it any longer. So my tax dollars are not going there.

There is no real indication that these numbers are accurate and that this will happen, typical scare tactics from the left.Wow - between 60% to 350% for OK by 2035!

The left exaggerates the affordability and reliability of renewable energy to justify government subsidies, according to the House Committee on the Budget (.gov). They contend that policies promoting green energy restrict the use of more affordable fossil fuels and lead to higher energy costs for consumers. Furthermore, some critiques suggest that relying on subsidies distorts energy markets, hindering competition and efficient resource allocation. (AI)
I'll go for the ceo who makes multi millions even as the company tanks and he or she leaves with a golden parachute for $100 Alex.Hard to decide which one is worse.

The only reason there is a benefit to renewables is the U.S government is supplementing renewable energy. Without that aid, it would be sky high. I chose not to support my tax dollars going to a damned fool proposition that otherwise can't survive.HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I suspect liberals are the same people who believe in perpetual motion machines. It's that sort of lack of critical thinking that would get them to believe government provides "free" stuff at no cost to anyone ever and that mean Republicans just turn off the Free Stuff Generator because they're mean and hate poor people.The green energy initiative has been lower because tax dollars were paying for a large part of it.

Based on actions taken by the Trump administration, a Yahoo Finance report indicates that the 30% tax credit for wind and solar projects will be significantly phased out, now requiring projects to begin construction within a year or be operational by the end of 2027 to qualify, according to Yahoo Finance. An analysis by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) suggests that these changes could lead to a 41% decrease in US clean energy installations compared to previous projections.
In addition, The Hill reports that incentives for green projects have been rolled back, leading to the cancellation of green projects totaling an estimated $22 billion. (AI)
This probably seems important to you.The only reason there is a benefit to renewables is the U.S government is supplementing renewable energy. Without that aid, it would be sky high. I chose not to support my tax dollars going to a damned fool proposition that otherwise can't survive.
Government economic support for fossil fuels dwarfs the subsidies and tax credits for renewables. Look at these U.S. federal benefits for fossil fuels:The only reason there is a benefit to renewables is the U.S government is supplementing renewable energy. Without that aid, it would be sky high.
