The simple fact is; if they are economical, they wouldn't need subsidies. If farming and gas production were economical then they shouldn't need subsidies either, lol. https://programs.dsireusa.org/system/program/detail/734

In Oklahoma, for example, companies are trying to build data centers and those data centers consume a lot of energy. Our electric providers do not have enough juice. I don't love the look of wind farms and definitely don't love the tax credits, but, again, we need more energy. We are not being very conservative today. Let the free market supply it at free market prices; not the Federal government so some consumers get electricity at subsidized prices. Last edited by Dirt; Yesterday at 10:16 AM. Who is John Galt?

Without government subsidies, they never give a decent rate of return. They are also terrible for the environment. Keith
