How solar and wind benefits Republicans

[Hajga Loma DK + 47]

Apparently, solar and wind industries are donating more money to Republicans than to Democrats, a marked shift from a group typically aligned with the environmental left. Reuters reported that  even though the money is modest compared with that donated by fossil fuel interests, the support provides GOP candidates with added credibility on clean energy, an issue polling shows swing voters care about.

that is why the subsidies should be suspended. at least in energy sector

solar and wind companies have donated almost $400,000 to candidates and PACs in the 2018 election cycle? Nonsense

The donations include $247,000 to Republicans, $139,300 to Democrats and $7,500 to Independents.

Support Democrats to allow their business to even exist, then support Republicans for tax cuts. Smart

If it is healthy, tax it. If it not working well, subsidize it. Classic Democrats

Right. and red Texas loves wind power

The monies listed don't even count for chump change. Most industries donate to both parties. What solar needs in the states isn't subsidies, but a fair shake. Can you net meter? Most places, no. Do you have to put up big bonds to be allowed to use it? Often. Is it even legal to have your own solar. Some places, no, so, why are utilities getting these regulations put in place? Distributed power threatens the current economic model.
