I am enjoying the conversation in the comments on my prior post about wind subsidies. I forgot to include in that post a link to John Whitehead’s post on wind farms at Environmental Economics, building off of a recent John Tierney column in the New York Times.
Tierney points out that, as some commenters on my prior wind subsidy post observed, fossil fuels and nuclear energy receive subsidies too. He cites evidence that renewables receive twice the subsidy that they do per unit of energy.
