If they are expecting to lower energy costs then why do they want more subsidies? Or on the other end a carbon tax to penalize competitors? I'm sure there are policy prescriptions other than subsidies that can be beneficial to the industry but the ones that seem to get the most discussion are production tax credits and carbon tax.
- megaremote 8y agoIt still costs money to build this stuff. And you might be asking why does coal and gas get subsidies?
- bilbo0s 8y agoJust to be evenhanded, the article is touting wind and solar, not really coal and gas.
- AdamM12 8y agoThey get deprecation like everyone else which helps subsidize the building of facilities as well as certain on going capital expenditures. Why do they need a production tax credit also (industry specific)? Talking simply renewables so coal & gas is another discussion.
