The great hundred billion dollar+ renewable energy fleecing of American taxpayers & energy users

Guest essay by Larry Hamlin

The colossal magnitude of renewable energy federal and state government driven subsidies, taxes and higher energy cost impacts has never been systematically revealed to the American public but has instead been secreted away from view by those enjoying the huge financial benefits of this monumental largesse.

The staggering negative financial impacts foisted upon Americans that are associated with all forms of renewable energy flow directly from government mandates, taxes, subsidies and higher cost consequences of an array of outrageously flawed political dictates that falsely claim to offer improved outcomes for the “climate” versus the continued use of fossil fuel energy resources.

It's not just about taking our money.
It's our freedom they want to take, as well !

Sadly true.

The irony is that some of these devices have the potential to liberate people, help secure their property (solar powered LED lights, the bigger ones with motion detectors and such that are simple to set up, require little wiring, and even have survived -40 temps). I'm impressed, and they were cheap (especially compared to wiring some lights in).
But for a main power source, for a transportation power source, well, they just aren't ready for prime time. As far as energy goes, here there are times of year when you literally bet your life on reliable energy, even if its just another log on the fire.
