17.02.2015: The US-based Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) claims that billions of tax dollars spent on grants, tax breaks and other handouts to incentivize the US solar energy industry »have proven dramatically unproductive.« The organization concludes that solar power will »continues to be a losing proposition« and that there is little indication that solar energy will ever become a viable, large-scale energy resource for the US. »US taxpayers spent an average of $39 billion a year over the past 5 years financing grants, subsidizing tax credits, guaranteeing loans, bailing out failed solar energy boondoggles and otherwise underwriting every idea under the sun to make solar energy cheaper and more popular,« TPA says. »But none of it has worked. Solar energy remains prohibitively expensive – often three times more than electricity produced from natural gas or other sources. As a result, less than 1% of the electricity consumed by Americans comes from solar energy sources.« TPA is calling for a rethink on »faltering« federal solar initiatives and states that the solar energy industry should stand on its own, powered exclusively by private investment and initiative. © PHOTON http://protectingtaxpayers.org http://protectingtaxpayers.org/assets/files/solar-report-february-12.pdf Weitere Informationen finden Sie auch im PHOTON-Archiv unter folgendem Link:
