As I was reading through Steve Hanley’s article on the absurd new $700 million US subsidy for old, dirty coal, the ending really struck me. Here are his final words there:
“Other red states joining the renewable energy party include Missouri, Arkansas, Ohio, Mississippi, Michigan, Arizona, Louisiana, and Wyoming.
“And why are renewables doing so well in those states? That’s easy. They cost less and come online faster than other forms of generation — especially coal, which is the most expensive of all. It would be wonderful if the government would stop picking losers to receive taxpayer money. Is that too much to hope for?”
