Clean Energy Is Cheaper
The tax credit that wind energy gets is minuscule in comparison to the subsidies that fossil fuels -- oil and coal -- and nuclear power get. Just go into the Federal Register and look at the subsidies those energy resources have gotten over the years and what they still get today in comparison to renewable energy. It is an overwhelming difference.

You have to remember the cost of wind energy and renewable energy, solar power too, is the cost of the capital to buy the technology. You have no fuel, you have no emissions, you have no waste, you have no transportation of fuel, you have none of the things that keep driving energy costs up and up and up. So if you eliminated all subsidies for all energy, renewable energy would by far and away be the best value for the American people.
