Does anyone have any links to good statistics on the comparison of costs of different forms of energy generation before government interference? All I can find is either after subsidies or about total generation and not cost.
- jillesvangurp 7y agoThe assumption buried in this question is that subsidies are only applicable to clean energy. It's a wrong assumption. The reality is that coal, oil, and gas sectors are heavily dependent on subsidies, tax benefits, federal programs for building pipelines, and in some cases very expensive military interventions (e.g. most conflicts with US involvement in the middle east). Arguably the amount of money involved with that is far more than anything dedicated to clean energy currently.
