The Wind Funeral Was Billed to Us

The corkboard sneezed when the anti-wind crowd started preaching “market discipline” with one hand and allegedly waving taxpayer-backed exit money with the other. Funny how subsidies become socialism when a turbine is involved, but turn into “responsible energy leadership” the minute oil, gas, or LNG gets a velvet rope and a shrimp tower.

Follow the thread but check the knot: if public money helps clean energy leave the room while fossil fuels get the good folding chairs, that is not the invisible hand of the market. That is the visible hand filling out reimbursement paperwork in a hard hat. The panic was never really about subsidies. It was about who gets to cash them without being called a freeloader.
