Alex Epstein explains how legacy media is mixing up the good guys and bad guys in a recent message Politicians Who Cut Solar and Wind Subsidies Saved Our Grid.<\/strong><\/a>  Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last year, America was already in a serious electricity reliability crisis<\/strong>. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation\u2014the body charged with assessing grid reliability\u2014found that over half the country<\/strong> is facing the risk of power shortfalls<\/strong> over the next decade.\u00b9<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That crisis is far from over. But now, for the first time in years, the economics of building reliable power plants are turning around.<\/strong> And we owe this to a handful of politicians who led the charge to cut solar and wind subsidies in the \u201cBig Beautiful Bill.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar and wind subsidies were defunding reliable power plants<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To understand what these politicians accomplished by cutting solar and wind subsidies, you have to understand the condition of the grid as of last year.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For decades, the federal government paid massive subsidies\u2014the \u201cInvestment Tax Credit\u201d and \u201cProduction Tax Credit\u201d\u2014to solar and wind projects. These subsidies didn\u2019t just take hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. They systematically destroyed the economics of the reliable power plants<\/strong> that keep our grid running.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When subsidized solar and wind flood the grid with cheap electricity<\/strong> every time the sun shines or the wind blows, they take away operating time and therefore revenue from reliable power plants.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to subsidies many reliable plants had no choice but to shut down prematurely, while investors were deterred from investing in building new reliable plants<\/strong> whose revenue under subsidies and unfair market rules would be taken by unreliable generation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsidies were a big reason why as electricity demand increased over the past decade, America saw a decline in reliable capacity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The IRA accelerated the catastrophic effects of solar and wind subsidies<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Then came the \u201cInflation Reduction Act\u201d of 2022.<\/strong> The IRA increased solar\/wind subsidies, and it also extended them for over a decade. These subsidies were projected to cost taxpayers over $1 trillion<\/strong> over that decade.\u00b2<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the damage to the grid would have been incomparably greater than the tax bill. The biggest cost by far was the defunding and disincentivizing of reliable power plants.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2024, solar and wind \u201ccapacity,\u201d<\/strong> which as we saw during a recent winter storm can\u2019t be relied on at all\u00b3, represented 70% of all new electricity additions in the US.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy Secretary Chris Wright was not exaggerating when he said solar and wind subsidies are \u201ca big mistake,\u201d which \u201cresult in higher costs and less reliable electricity.\u201d\u2074<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A handful of energy freedom fighters cut solar\/wind subsidies in the \u201cBig Beautiful Bill\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When the \u201cBig Beautiful Bill\u201d budget negotiations began early last year, the solar\/wind subsidy lobby<\/strong> descended on Washington in full force. The expected<\/strong> outcome was that Republicans<\/strong>, despite running on a promise to dismantle the IRA, would keep most of the solar and wind subsidies.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not what happened. Instead, a handful of energy freedom advocates
fought relentlessly to cut the IRA\u2019s solar and wind subsidies\u2014and won.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initial draft<\/strong> of the budget bill produced by the House Ways and Means Committee included a long \u201cphase-out\u201d of the subsidies that would have allowed new solar and wind projects to continue<\/strong> receiving 10-year subsidies well into the 2030s and even 2040s.\u2075<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When this bill came to the House Budget Committee<\/strong> for review, Representatives Chip Roy, Ralph Norman, Josh Brecheen, and Andrew Clyde<\/strong> withheld their support (voting \u201cno\u201d or \u201cpresent\u201d). Because the Republican majority on the committee is very slim, their votes were crucial. This stalled the bill<\/strong>, and they were able to work through the weekend to significantly limit subsidy eligibility to projects that were<\/strong> \u201cplaced in service,\u201d i.e., operational, by 2028<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar and wind lobbyists threw a fit,<\/strong> claiming that cutting subsidies would raise electricity prices and destroy the grid. But Roy, Norman, Brecheen, and Clyde didn\u2019t back down. And in later stages of the process, they were joined by more energy freedom politicians,<\/strong> including Rep. Scott Perry on the House side, and Senators Mike Lee, Rick Scott, and Ron Johnson on the Senate side.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, a last-second change<\/strong> by the Senate (sneaked in by the solar\/wind lobby) weakened the<\/strong> House\u2019s solar and wind subsidy cuts<\/strong> by allowing projects to collect subsidies if they are technically \u201cin construction\u201d (an easy threshold to meet) by July 4, 2026, at which point they have 4 years to be \u201cplaced in service.\u201d\u2076<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, the final \u201cBig Beautiful Bill,\u201d significantly cuts solar and wind subsidies for projects<\/strong>. The upshot: Starting July 5, 2026, virtually no new<\/strong> subsidy-collecting solar\/wind projects can be initiated. (They can only collect subsidies if they are actually \u201cplaced in service\u201d by the end of 2027, a standard most new subsidy-seeking projects won\u2019t be able to meet.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politicians who cut subsidies are wrongly being blamed for rising electricity prices<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As soon as the \u201cBig Beautiful Bill\u201d was passed, the solar-and-wind lobby began blaming the politicians who cut solar\/wind subsidies<\/strong> for depriving our grid of power and causing electricity prices to rise.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is the timeframe of this claim absurd\u2014the subsidy cuts would not even go into effect for another year\u2014it gets the relationship between subsidies and price increases exactly backwards<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Solar and wind subsidies have contributed to the electricity price increases we\u2019ve seen so far<\/strong>\u2014by forcing the premature shutdown of the reliable power plants our grid needs to function. (And we\u2019re also paying for the subsidies through taxes and inflation.) Cutting these subsidies was necessary to stop price increases going forward.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The energy freedom fighters<\/strong> who cut solar\/wind subsidies did not deprive the grid of power; they did more than anyone to ensure that the grid had electricity when it needed it most.<\/strong> They set up a market where new reliable plants can be profitable. And they did not increase electricity prices, they created the necessary conditions for electricity prices to decrease.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re seeing already.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The solar\/wind subsidy cuts in the \u201cBig Beautiful Bill\u201d are already saving our grid<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, investors looked at the electricity market and saw that building reliable power would soon become much more profitable<\/strong> than if the solar\/wind subsidies had continued. At the same time, they became more and more aware that they need ultra-reliable power to power AI data centers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The US nearly tripled its gas-fired capacity in development in 2025, reaching 252 GW\u2014more than any other country\u2077. Developers plan to add 18.7 GW of combined-cycle natural gas capacity by 2028\u2078. Major utilities are announcing record capital plans to build reliable generation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what happens when you stop paying people to build an inferior product.<\/strong> Capital flows to what actually works: power plants that can run when you need them, in the quantity you need them, regardless of the weather.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The AI data center boom makes the timing of the solar\/wind subsidy cuts even more crucial. Data centers need power that is available 24\/7, 365 days a year.<\/strong> The subsidy cuts arrived just in time to help redirect investment toward the reliable generation that America\u2019s growing digital economy urgently needs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The lesson: Energy freedom works<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Any energy source that is genuinely cost-effective will thrive without subsidies. The path to affordable, reliable electricity isn\u2019t subsidies for some politicians\u2019 and lobbyists\u2019 preferred energy sources\u2014it\u2019s the freedom to produce and invest in the energy sources that actually work.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year ago, NERC was warning that more than half the country faced electricity shortfalls. Today, the market is responding to restored price signals by building reliable power<\/strong> at a pace we haven\u2019t seen in decades.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politicians who cut solar and wind subsidies didn\u2019t just save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. They saved our grid.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
