Was the credit from your power company?

Yes.

I agree there shouldn’t be subsidies for any energy service. It should be fair across the board, but that would mean oil, gas, and nuclear would also lose their handouts.

Higher subsidies for renewables would save all of us thousands.

Maine is too far north for solar to be profitable! it belongs in AZ or FL

But that is true only if you ignore all the evidence that it is profitable!

It's already the highest by far and I'm not saving thousands.

What is profitable and to whom and from where are the profits generated?

Unfortunately just one state can not turn the situation around. The US just needs to get with the program like most other countries.

Yes.

Who pays the power utility company ?

Who said that fossil and nuclear are subsidized?

 

[buickanddeere]

US energy production plus up to 8000MW of imports from Canada and Mexico .
Fossil has to be there to backup wind and solar when they fail daily .

In the US, a reliable source is the Energy Information Administration.

You mean even more government control correct?

I've read them. They say nothing other than a redistribution of someone else's tax dollars.

Only in the short term. I knoow that you are aware of numerous other sources

Storage is not a source

No it is not needed. It is beyond gov't. control. industry, individuals, local gov'ts. other countries are all on the renewables band wagon. We just have a temporary segment here that is doing all they can to slow the process.

Just because there's a bandwagon doesn't mean there's not subsidies. "Getting with the program like most other countries" is absolutely more government control- over 2 trillion USD worldwide from governments from 2020-2024. https://www.iea.org/reports/state-of-energy-policy-2024/key-findings
