And we have more solar and wind power than ever.

Maybe this will help:

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Do you ever read the articles that you post links to? You keep pushing coal and natural gas as the “low-cost” energy sources however, the increase in energy costs seems to be due to coal and natural gas.

From the article:
“Electricity costs are relentlessly climbing because prices for the two biggest power-plant fuels -- natural gas and coal -- have surged in the last year as the US economy rebounds”

Anything to do with the penalties being put on fossil fuels and the subsidies for solar & wind?

Anything to do with the penalties being put on fossil fuels and the subsidies for solar & wind?

For example?

For example?

If you don’t know that the G_______t is making it more expensive to extract and utilize fossil fuels and how much subsidy taxpayers are paying for wind & solar, then you must not be paying attention.

So is that more than the 5.9 trillion that we are spending to support fossil fuel energy?

Fake news. The article states:

Explicit subsidies accounted for only 8 percent of the total. The remaining 92 percent were implicit subsidies, which took the form of tax breaks or, to a much larger degree, health and environmental damages that were not priced into the cost of fossil fuels, according to the analysis.

In other words they count tax deductions for standard business expenses as subsidies. Then make up another huge number for "environmental damages."

The price of oil and coal are skyrocketing because of the political war on oil and coal due to our current government policies.

He’s not. And there’s no sense in taking him that way.
After the post made that windmills “smell like money”, I knew we were dealing with someone involved in the green energy business, or a big supporter, donor, etc.
