The subsidies for nuclear likely saved more than a million lives that would have been lost to air pollution if the industry did not exist and coal had been used instead. One might argue those subsidies were a good value for money - if you care about human life. >>But no power source has been as subsidized as roof-top solar. >This simply isn't true. Rooftop solar has been slammed with heavy import tariffs ever since Obama and while feed in tariffs have been generous in the past they haven't been generous for some years now. The import tariffs have little impact on the costs of rooftop solar. The big price for rooftop is the large amounts of human labor and the inverters etc that aren't needed for utility grid solar. While feed in tariffs might have been lowered in some jurisdictions, they certainly aren't lower in big markets like CA. There the PUC was going to lower the credit to 5 cents a KW and the uproar from wealthy people was large enough that the plan was put on hold. The 5 cents is still more than the 3 cents it costs PG&E for nuclear power, but if the change was implemented, "The manufacturers of solar systems predicted the death of solar in California,". Rooftop solar was never, is not and will not ever be cheap. https://www.ocregister.com/2022/04/29/ghosted-by-the-puc-folks-await-new-plan-for-rooftop-solar-but-get-silence/ https://www.ocregister.com/2022/04/29/ghosted-by-the-puc-fol...
