I've been tracking energy prices in my region for over a decade, and the gap between renewable and fossil fuel costs has narrowed dramatically—solar is now cheaper per kilowatt-hour than coal in most sunny states. Yet our grid still relies heavily on old plants, and every new wind farm faces years of permitting delays. Renewable energy is now the economical choice, but we still subsidize the fossil industry heavily, making the transition slower than it should be. Should we stop all new fossil fuel subsidies and let the market pick the cheaper option?
