Even without subsidies, renewable energy is staying competitive with power from gas and coal
You can’t power a state on fantasy. Nuclear: 10–15 years out Coal: No new builds planned, anywhere Gas: 5–7 year delays States banning solar & wind are picking losers—and guaranteeing failure.
When gas finds out they're the only resource a state will allow, prices skyrocket.
"If greenfield power plants take two and half to three years to get built and you cannot get a gas turbine until 2030, when are you going to be online? In 2032 or 2033. I have data centers hoping to open in 2026 and 2027. How are we going to bridge this?" www.projectfinance.law/publications...
The federal government is making a concerted effort to promote construction of new power plants that burn fossil fuels.
"Tenaska can't get a gas turbine until 2030. How are we going to meet all of this demand in Georgia? " ..." the big issues in Georgia is lack of firm transportation for gas. We can get intermittent gas, but the pipelines cannot commit to firm deliveries." www.projectfinance.law/publications...
