I call bullshit on this:
“More lately, renewable energy has been the main beneficiary of the government's benevolence, receiving more than three times as federal incentives as oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear combined”
This is simply not possible, although it would take a very lengthy breakdown to show the real numbers. Many of the subsidies for oil and gas are just not counted by some groups, but that is intentional. And then you have delayed costs which at borne by the people, such as unlivable areas due to earthquakes or groundwater contamination which are also often not counted.
