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

The "ITC" and "PTC" solar and wind subsidies pay utilities to shut down or slow down reliable gas and coal plants whenever the sun shines or the wind blows. This defunds reliable plants, causing many to be shut down. — PolitiTweet.org

The "Inflation Reduction Act" pretended to be pro-nuclear by including nuclear under "clean energy" subsidies. But since nuclear overregulation makes new plants cost-prohibitive, the IRA’s endless "clean energy" subsidies created an endless trough for solar/wind. — PolitiTweet.org
