Let’s join the Joe Manchin-funded climate compromise in the US Senate. Despite all the hype in the press, this exciting proposal is exactly the kind of subsidy regime The National Academy of Sciences in 2013, after a similar incident, was rated as “an ineffective tool for reducing greenhouse gases and achieving climate change goals”.
An analysis has shown why: “Alternative energy is not alternative energy”.
Such packages are sold based on the public’s false intuition that a green energy consumption is a fossil energy that resides in the ground. But it does not comply. The most spacious honor Papers in recent years on the economics of climate change conclude that green energy subsidies mainly only increase total energy consumption rather than displacing fossil fuels.
