That’s false for land turbines. They make plenty of money


Without subsidies?

Not that, if the OP is correct, that any president should be talking about banning something like wind turbines. Just pull the subsidies if it's an inefficient use of funds. Subsidize nuke plants if you really want to get rid of fossil fuels.

Yeah. The subsidy is just a tax credit per Wh generated. There are a few that probably got DOE loans or some placed grants, but that's incredibly rare. The vast majority just get the tax credit.

Missed this part. We already do. They get a PTC just like wind and geo.
