Ted Turner On Energy Subsidies

There is some contention over whether the Old Energies or the New Energies get the most subsidies. This clip from his recent appearance at the National Press Club shows what Ted Turner thinks – and he is right. Fossil fuel advocates say the New Energies get twice as much in subsidies – on a per-megawatt basis. But that’s only because the fossil fuels are already so well established. In actual tax dollars, the Old Energies get FIVE TIMES federal subsidies as the New Energies. Do they really need all that? From AmericanWind EnergyAssociation via YouTube
