The combo of no price 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

Solar and wind subsidies not only drive the shutdown of reliable power plants and loot taxpayers, they also inflate electricity prices. Because solar and wind can go near-zero at any given time, they don’t replace most of the costs of reliable power plants—they add to them. — PolitiTweet.org

Policy solution: End all subsidies for unreliables. Abolish the Investment Tax Credit and Production Tax Credit. Stop "green hydrogen" subsidies. Require generators using solar/ wind to pay for the extra infrastructure they need instead of forcing others to foot the bill. — PolitiTweet.org
