They’ve only received 40 or 50 years of subsidies. There’s no way they are ready to fledge and leave the nest. We need to nurture these little babies until they reach adulthood and can soar on their own.

A good portion of these subsidies are going to foreign companies.

When we fought off Big Blow here in central IN, both of the companies trying to build here were German, harvesting the wind American taxpayers money because Merkel destroyed their business model at home

Trump doesn't write the budget and last year he did the same thing.

Congress funded the energy dept last year and will fund it again this year

This is a good example of fake news. They quote the Bloomberg article but delete the part about congress writing the budget

Here is the complete unedited article from Bloomberg

The only thing we have is the tax credit and I think a tax credit to put solar panels on your house makes perfect sense

Why the hell not it’s our money

Good start, but if you really want to cut, then get rid of the practice where people buy stuff just to use up their budget ar the end of each year. Spend it or Lose it next year is profoundly stupid.
