Additionally, green energy technology like wind turbines typically cost more. In fact, the Department of Energy’s budget has increased by 76% in the past 10 years – in part to accommodate a huge increase in green energy methods.

Wind turbine designs have improved, but wind remains very expensive and as this list of subsidies, tax credits, and set-asides shows, the American taxpayer is footing the bill for the wind’s expansion. Even after decades of financial support, electricity from wind still only supplies 1.3% of all electricity generated in the US.
