But without those subsidies for those billionaires' fake "green" energy scams, they wouldn't be billionaires and would have to work and contribute to society

There are some places on earth where there is so much sun that solar outcompetes even without subsidies. That said the US and EU are only trying to move manufacturing back to China so we have disposable crap produced in the worst factories that needs constant intercontinental shipping. Sounds like a Biden plan.

I have friends who worked in solar in Southern California, where there is lots of sun, and they told me that without the subsidies it was not competitive with fossil fuels. Not even close, in fact.

The easy way to resolve any doubt is to eliminate the subsidies. If "green" energy can truly compete with fossil fuels - great! I doubt it.

Doesn't natural gas and coal get subsidies?

I know a bunch of people who have allowed wind farms to be established on their ranch land. Every time they say the "green" part of "green energy" they make that rubbing fingers together to say "money" gesture.

That includes Jimmy Carter, who the Democrats praise as a "Climate Champion" for converting 10 acres of his peanut farm into a solar farm. They completely overlook the fact that he is being paid more for leasing the land than he would make farming it.

The whole thing is a scam. Even if climate change is real, human activities have no or negligible contribution to it.
