Costs of Renewable Energy

Results of several recent industrial wind projects show how developers have used the program's loose administrative rules to qualify for multiple tax credits for the same project. It is also disturbing how a program that was originally intended to promote conservation and clean energy ended up being an extravagantly expensive green jobs program. Stacking federal, state and county subsidies is perfectly legal. But the result is that it costs you and I, as taxpayers who subsidize a project, a greater burden for development than the company that profits from it.
