Not infant industry protection, not energy security, not jobs, not any other justification other than a direct redistribution from taxpayers to shareholders.
And yes, "President Barack Obama tried in almost every budget to scrap the tax breaks but failed, even when Democrats controlled both the House and Senate from 2009 to 2011."
Sigh.

Climate After Trump
My latest column just out: https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/trump-election-what-would-it-mean-for-climate-change-by-gernot-wagner-2024-03
In short, he could, would, and already is delaying clean investments – and any such delay is bad. But delaying the inevitable is all he has. Even a Trump victory this November could not halt it.
Or, perhaps more succinct: The #renewables revolution is inevitable. Attempts by #Trump to stand in its way would amount to little more than another wall that never gets built.

1 cheer for Natural Asset Companies. This article also shows how disingenuous arguments against them are: "The most powerful forces arrayed against natural asset companies were people who wanted land to remain available for uses like coal mining and oil drilling."

The stadium is 8 miles from #NYC. When you ask Google Maps how to get there, it first asks you which of the 10 parking lots you meant. 🤷🏾‍♂️

You know how you know the end of oil & gas is nigh? Oil & gas producers going electric "to save costs."
Of course, it also shows the cynicism of oil & gas arguing against climate policies: It's better for us, and heck, we're going "net-zero" in our own operations within 3 decades, but we're still going to sell you the stuff.
