And why do the oil companies take their subsidies?"Low end coal, 6.6 cents per kilowatt, low end gas, 6.1 cents per kilowatt, wind without subsidies, 3.7 cents per kilowatt". Right in the article, you lying ass.
Those prices were made possible by generous subsidies that could soon diminish or expire, but recent analyses show that even without those subsidies, alternative energies can often compete with traditional sources.
But in a straight comparison of the costs of generating power, Mr. Mir said that the amount solar and wind developers needed to earn from each kilowatt-hour they sell from new projects was often “essentially competitive with what would otherwise be had from newly constructed conventional generation.”
Then why take the subsidies? Their whole analysis is questionable as hell based on what is known about wind and solar production rates. They're lying through their teeth. Here in Carson City they installed huge solar arrays at the schools and very properly provided a live feed at the City Hall so you could see what was being produced.
They stopped the live feed after a few months when people started running the numbers and figured out that the modules would never pay for themselves.

What oil companies subsidies?
