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

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

The combo of no penalty for unreliability + special subsidies for unreliables means that instead of unreliables receiving far less $ than reliables, they get a huge premium. And more and more reliable power plants go out of business. — PolitiTweet.org
