There is still a federal tax credit up to $4K for buying an alternative fueled vehicle: fueleconomy.gov Plus many states offer additional credits. Ethanol is heavily subsidized. There is a wind power federal tax credit: geenergyfinancialservices.com I believe the following solar subsidies are still in place: Here is a list of Federal initiatives from the database (taken from dsireusa.org): Corporate Depreciation: Modified Accelerated Cost-Recovery System (MACRS) Corporate Exemption: Residential Energy Conservation Subsidy Exclusion (Corporate) Corporate Tax Credit: Renewable Electricity Production Tax Credit Solar and Geothermal Business Energy Tax Credit Federal Grant Program: Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements Program Tribal Energy Program Grant Value-Added Producer Grant Program Federal Loan Program Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) Energy Star Financing and Mortgages Tax-exempt Financing for Green Buildings, Renewable Energy & Brownfield Redevelopment Personal Exemption: Residential Energy Conservation Subsidy Exclusion (Personal) Production Incentive: Conservation Security Program (CSP) Production Incentive Renewable Energy Production Incentive (REPI) Green Power Purchasing/Aggregation: Federal Government - Green Power Purchasing Goal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Incentives and Policies: U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities Program The idea that alternative energy is being starved by denail of subsidies doesn't seem correct.
