Texas Is Too Windy and Sunny for Old Energy Companies to Make Money
I wonder what the economics would be without the federal tax incentives for wind and solar.  Does anyone know?<p>EDIT: Someone above provided a link that provides the figure I was looking for:<p>"Between 2010 and 2016, subsidies for solar were between 10¢ and 88¢ per kWh and subsidies for wind were between 1.3¢ and 5.7¢ per kWh. Subsidies for coal, natural gas and nuclear are all between 0.05¢ and 0.2¢ per kWh over all years." [1]<p>I wonder how much of a subsidy there is for LED lighting.  A lot of energy goes for incandescent lighting.<p>Also, there should be a lot of subsidies to replace heaters in building burning #6 and #4 fuel oil which is very, very dirty and pollution (NYC where I live banned #6 a few years ago but #4 is allowed to persist until 2030 I think).<p><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2017/05/30/why-do-federal-subsidies-make-renewable-energy-so-costly/#69da9278128c" rel="nofollow">https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2017/05/30/why-do-fe...</a>
