Without government subsidies, wind and solar are not competitive.

Wind subsidies per energy unit are something like 3 times natural gas unit price. Turbine life expectations have dropped from around 25 years to around 15 years.

When the subsidies disappear and the turbines and towers start requiring widespread rebuild/replacement, we’ll start seeing true costs...
