Climate-at-a-glance-Subsidies
Bullet-Point Summary:
Fossil fuels and conventional energy receive almost no federal subsidies.
Wind power by itself receives more subsidies than all conventional energy sources combined.
Solar power by itself receives more subsidies than all conventional energy sources combined.
Wind and solar power receive additional hidden subsidies by:
imposing the inefficiency costs of its unpredictable generation on conventional, baseline power sources.
requiring the construction of new, lengthy, expensive power lines.
not paying for energy production on government-owned lands like conventional energy does.
being the beneficiaries of renewable power mandates that force consumers to purchase wind and solar power.
