I’m absolutely in favor of this. Get rid off all the energy subsidies, and then completely shut down and disband the Department of Energy. We don’t need it, and we can’t afford it.

“Alternative energy is a creation of politicians and taxpayers’ money, not taxpayers exercising choice in a free economy,” Kish said in an email.

Below will give you an idea of how much we subsides energy.

• natural gas - 25 cents per megawatt hour of electricity produced
• Coal - 44 cents per megawatt hour
• Nuclear $1.59 per megawatt hour
• Wind Energy $23.37 per megawatt hour
• Solar Energy $24.34 per megawatt hour
• Biofuels $1.78 per gal
