MG.J I guess you missed this here. From a previous post above.
According to EIA , renewable's received 72% of the subsidies available for electrical production in 2013. Of the 72% ,wind and solar received 64% of total available. Coal-6% , nat. gas -4% , nukes-10% ,for the sources that supply around the clock on demand. see: Table ES4. Fiscal Year 2013 electricity production subsidies and support on page 20 @ www.eia.gov/analysis/requests/subsidy/pdf/subsidy.pdf
Wind and solar total electricity amounted to a 5% world wide see: www.worldenergy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/World-Energy-Resources-Full-report-2016.10.03.pdf . All that money for so little electricity.
Here in Canada , it isn't so much a subsidy, as a investment when you see how much tax revenue is collected .Ontario residents alone paid $6.8 billion in federal and provincial taxes. Canadians as a whole paid over $16.6 billion. Not bad for a $3.6 billion investment(cbc)..lol.
