Energy Winners Should Be Chosen By Consumers, Not Government

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” – aimed at fulfilling most of President Trump’s campaign promises – narrowly passed through the House of Representatives on May 22, sparking immediate outrage from activists and corporations invested in alternative energy.

For years, big business interests driving the solar and wind industries have enjoyed a significant advantage. Unlike most startups, which strive to meet demands and achieve profitability within a few years, the renewables industry has been propped up by government tax incentives, often resulting in mismanaged companies going out of business despite government support.

Despite government backing, solar companies have converted more than a million acres of farmland into unsightly solar panel installations. This rapid deployment has caused controversy, strained neighborly relations, and led to the creation of new rules and regulations by state lawmakers.

The encroachment of solar panels on generational farmland has been viewed as a blight by many, replacing traditional crops with industrial structures. While some landowners have welcomed the financial relief offered by solar companies, others see it as a threat to their farming heritage.

In a Washington Post column a few years ago, I highlighted the emotional testimonies of farm families affected by solar developments in southern Ohio, illustrating the deep impact of these changes on local communities.

The generous deals offered by solar companies were largely due to government subsidies and tax incentives, which have been consistently supported and expanded by various administrations.

The House budget bill marks a significant shift in policy, phasing out tax credits for clean energy facilities and solar projects, causing solar stocks to plummet.

While the House bill may undergo revisions in the Senate, political considerations are at play, with some lawmakers advocating for a slower phase-out of clean energy subsidies to prevent drastic policy changes.

An “all-of-the-above” approach to energy remains a popular slogan, but recent grid failures due to overreliance on solar power highlight the importance of evaluating the effectiveness and reliability of alternative energy sources.

Ultimately, the success of alternative energy initiatives should be based on merit and market demand, rather than government subsidies that inflate costs for taxpayers.
