John Hinderaker:
Wind and solar energy are a bad joke. They are obsolete, unreliable, and ridiculously expensive if all costs are included—something that “green” advocates never do. These industries, therefore, could not exist without government mandates and subsidies. Which means, in turn, that they are lavish contributors to politicians.
There are people getting rich on wind and solar projects, and they owe it all to government. Of course, those people aren’t you, me, or the hundreds of millions of Americans who buy electricity and pay taxes. Once again, the politicians and a handful of well-connected operators benefit, and the rest of us pay the tab.
