Green Energy Firms Are Dodging Their Share of Taxes, in the Biggest Corporate Welfare Scam of All Time

Some green energy companies in the US are not paying their fair share of taxes, despite receiving billions in subsidies. President Biden, who advocates for fair taxation, is in bed with these companies. The renewable energy lobby has collected over a quarter trillion dollars in subsidies over the past two decades, with little to show for it in terms of energy production. These companies are exempt from a proposed minimum corporate tax, highlighting the hypocrisy in the industry.

Biggest Corporate Welfare Scam of All Time, by Stephen Moore

President Joe Biden is calling on corporate America to pay their fair share of taxes, but it turns out that some companies, particularly green energy firms, are not paying their fair share. Despite receiving billions in subsidies, wind and solar power industries are among the biggest tax dodgers in the country, paying nearly zero income taxes. These companies have received over a quarter trillion dollars in subsidies over the past two decades, with no significant increase in renewable energy production. Biden’s policies, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, are expected to drain the Treasury of up to .8 trillion over 10 years. The green energy lobby is exempt from Biden’s proposed mandatory 15% minimum corporate tax, highlighting the hypocrisy in his stance on tax evasion. The green energy industry is profiting off climate change hysteria, with little to show for the taxpayer-funded subsidies they receive.
