Wind Energy: What About Those Subsidies?
Posted on 24 July 2018 by greenman3610
This is a re-post from Climate Denial Crock of the Week



I really enjoyed interviewing Wind Developer Marty Lagina. Marty came from an Oil and Gas background, he’s an engineer – but he has seen the opportunity in wind, and lately, solar development, around Michigan.

I asked him to address a common bugaboo that windbaggers bring up about renewable energy – the existence of subsidies.

My take is that just about every thing that we identify as part of modern America, starting with the Erie Canal in 1821, got a boost from a public/private partnership.

And, Marty correctly notes that fossil fuels still receive enormous amounts of government funds.
