No, I can't be bothered with your nonsense. Your "You haven't made a case" "Your post is pure propaganda", you always seem to start a post with a slightly veiled attack. I'm not doing it, so either go away, or come back when you're going to act like a decent human being.
Although a large portion is contained in USASpending, it is not easy to separate subsidy information from the other types of grant and loan awards (as well as contracts) contained in that database.
Big Recipients: Grants and Allocated Tax Credits
The company with the largest total, $2.2 billion, is not a household name in the United States. The Spanish electric utility Iberdrola has invested heavily in U.S. power generation facilities, especially renewables. Starting with its 2006 purchase of Scottish Power and its North American subsidiary PPM Energy, Iberdrola has since expanded its wind portfolio to more than 40 projects from Southern California to New England. It now calls itself the second largest wind-energy operator in the United States.16 Many of the wind farms it acquired or built have taken advantage of a provision in the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Section 1603) that allows companies to receive cash payments in lieu of tax credits for the installation of renewable energy properties.17 Section 1603 has awarded more than $23 billion to companies with U.S. and foreign parents. NextEra Energy, the parent of Florida Power & Light and number two on the list, got about 90 percent of its grants from Section 1603; number three NRG Energy got about 80 percent
Oil companies bid on those leases. They pay the market price, so your whine is not only wrong but idiotic.Fossil fuels are cheap to produce because much of it is practically given away to the companies through federal leases.
Another perfect example of the unsustainability of "green energy". This is wasting all of our money and negatively impacting our defense.

"Subsidies"?!? Yeah....those all go to the failed "green" energy. What fossil fuels get are devastating regulatory costs aimed at putting them out of business.and subsidies, along with tax breaks...Fossil fuels are cheap to produce because much of it is practically given away to the companies through federal leases.
Perhaps you don't understand what the word "unsustainable" means? (Hint: notice how there is not one single word about what it cost to build out that infrastructure? Yeah - that's not by accident).Another perfect example of the unsustainability of "green energy". This is wasting all of our money and negatively impacting our defense.

"Electricity consumption in the country was fully covered by solar, wind and hydro power in an extraordinary 107-hour run that lasted from 6.45am on Saturday 7 May until 5.45pm the following Wednesday, the analysis says."
"Last year, wind provided 22% of electricity and all renewable sources together provided 48%, according to the Portuguese renewable energy association."
"In 2015, wind power alone met 42% of electricity demand in Denmark, 20% in Spain, 13% in Germany and 11% in the UK."
Sure, unsustainable....... not.

Why do you have to reference something so old, my children weren't even born yet? That was more than a decade ago - when we didn't have a failed marxist sitting in the Oval Office. How about you join us in the laws and regulations of the current decade/administration?Why do you hate the GOP energy policy law of 2005?"Subsidies"?!?

Incidentally - I hate most things the Republican Party does.
In time it will be viable. But we're a loooong way away and forcing this nonsense through government coercion called "regulations" along with illegal subsidies is suicide. It's killing us (as liberal policy always does). Very wealthy, influential people like Bill Gates are obsessed with "green" energy. Let them handle this and get the government out of it. What they are doing is illegal.Perhaps you don't understand what the word "unsustainable" means? (Hint: notice how there is not one single word about what it cost to build out that infrastructure?

I understand what sustainable means. I know it's also not just a simple case of things appearing. Time will tell whether this is really viable, but it depends on whether people put their pockets first and demand everything be slave labor cheap, or whether they value the air they breathe.

As reported by the Solar and Wind industry! Lets not forget that Portugal imports more than half its power.Another perfect example of the unsustainability of "green energy". This is wasting all of our money and negatively impacting our defense.

That said, Hydroelectric power is not renewable. Venezuela and Brazil can attest to that fact.
Hydroelectric power is not sustainable, you can not dam the rivers and kill all the fish, there is a limit to the amount of damage you can do to the environment.
But what the hell, Solar and Wind are so weak, you must include Hydroelectric to try and sell them to the public.
So you are saying you have no idea what is going on in the World, figures.Again, you've said something like "Venezuela and Brazil can attest to that fact", fact? I don't see a fact there. I see you saying it's a fact, but no fact.

Then tell us what happened in Brazil and Venezuela, regarding hydroelectric power.No. I'm saying you're attempting to make an argument and doing a very bad job of it.
