>>Energy independence is one. It is. But it doesn't warrant paying auto manufacturers $6000 toward the purchase of new cars. That's just corporate welfare at its worst. >> Besides, you are pretending that other forms of energy are not being subsidized FF subsidies are minuscule compared with what we have dumped into renewables. There is very little actual money going into FF, most of it being accelerated tax deductions that were ultimately going to be allowed at some point anyway. I fully support the use of renewables and think it is great to see what companies like Apple and Tesla are doing to marginalize Carbon output. But it is another thing to have a president declare that he intends to raise electricity costs "through the sky" in pursuit of an agenda based on the climate science religion. It is NOT a crisis. And economically, we should not act as though it is. We need to be rational and measured because there is no bottomless pit of money. And solar continues to be insensely expensive.
