No, you’ve not been paying attention.

The liberals say wind power should get a special break.

Sensible people say end it now.

As I pointed out, it is “ending”. Just not “now”. If you wish to change that, you’d have my vote but I’m not in Congress, and the Republican-controlled Congress is the one that made it the way it is. We will see if Trump’s agenda includes re-negotiating the timetable for ending the PTC and ITC, but the numbers I gave are 100% accurate as things stand today.

If we can move past the personal opinions, the underlying story is that the Republican Congress did this extension to please the energy lobbyists, as is usually the case in all legislation, but in return they ended the ban on crude oil exports. That was a good thing. It is also how deals are done, and I fully expect Trump to prioritize what he wants to get done and to negotiate compromises in the process. Those who expect everything to “stop, now” are going to have plenty to fuss about.
