Step back for a moment and consider that the wind and solar industries have received hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies over the last 30 years, and yet their combined output amounts to little more than an accounting rounding error.
While wind and solar output at a global level is trivial, the cost of propping up this pathetic pair is far from it.
In Australia alone, the subsidies to wind and solar under the Federal government’s Large-Scale RET will exceed more than $60 billion by the time that scam expires in 2030. Subsidies to domestic rooftop solar will add another…
