Solar/wind subsidies are driving reliable power plants out of business, leading to higher costs and lower reliability. Ominously, our government recently extended them *indefinitely*. A future Congress should end solar/wind subsidies, driving lower prices + higher reliability. — PolitiTweet.org

Stop subsidizing unreliable generators Subsidies for unreliable electricity, above all the Investment Tax Credit and the Production Tax Credit, force taxpayers to pay utilities to slow down or shut down reliable power plants whenever the sun shines or the wind blows. — PolitiTweet.org

Another form of subsidy to eliminate: subsidizing unreliable solar/wind by socializing their costs, such as additional transmission lines or storage batteries. This subsidy further rewards unreliable electricity at the expense of reliables and of customers. — PolitiTweet.org
