Not sure on what planet they are handing out 10K checks but on this planet it doesn't happen that way.
Its works exactly like the oil and gas subsidy except its the individual that gets to write 30% of the cost off on their federal taxes.
The two subsidies are identical except one goes to the taxpayer and the other to some scumbag billionaire exec.
On the federal level

Personally I'd love you to show me where I missed this 10K check thing because I want one. ;--)

Again fossil fuel prices are highly volatile, hardly reliable and tend to send the economy into periods of uncertainty. Renewable energy is far more reliable and much less subject to foreign interventions that effect our economy here at home.
If Germany can do it, Chicago can do it and save themselves a fortune in the process.
and again Germany's emissions are going down.
Lets look a some more data
Included three more of the most recent years. Looks like Germany's CO2 production went up slightly due to a few coal powered power plants coming on line however the German government is on to the problem and is ending coal use entirely

In many respects, Germany’s performance has gone backwards during 2015, despite Chancellor Merkel having secured the G7 agreement at the June summit. Germany is currently feeling the financial impacts of not having turned off the tap of new coal plants swiftly enough and the political impacts of a failure to shift the dominant utilities away from a dependence on high carbon assets.
There is no market appetite for new coal power stations in Germany. A set of ‘new’ power plants are finally entering operations after investment decisions were taken in 2007-09 but these have resulted in massive financial losses for utilities and are already at risk of becoming stranded assets. The German government has not yet moved formally to rule out new coal plants but could easily do so.

So yeah. Sorry but what was your point again ?
