Since you don't know how to do math, we won't bother to ask you to try to do a calculation of the return on energy per dollar of subsidy.
One hundred billion dollars in subsidies to the stupid failed renewable energy industry
still won't produce an exajoule of energy, since a similar worldwide expenditure over the last 50 years failed to do so.
Now, Kiddie, even if you don't do references, I do. You may be totally fucking surprised to learn this, but the government actually publishes the subsidy figures.
In fact, a poster on this website who can actually READ posted references here, doing what you can't fucking do, cite references.

I'd suggest you read 'em and weep, but I'm not sure the "reading" part is a strong suit, and the "weeping" part would require either an ability to feel shame at one's own obliviousness or a sense of ethics.
In my school district, where they are cutting all sorts of education programs, they are very proud of having installed a "50 kw" solar PV system on the roof of the junior high school.
Every kid in the school can look up the power output from his or her computer, as can his or her parents.
During the month of September, it produced 2316.238 kWh, or just 6.34% of name plate power.
During the month of October, it produced 5542.58 kWh or just 15.4% of name plate power.
During the month of November, it produced 1156.11 kWh or just 3.21% of name plate power.
It's a fucking waste of our educational dollars, a scam to make rich people feel less guilt over their consumer frenzy life style, and what's worse, the money for it is being taken out of the education of children, who are already screwed by the kind of yuppie mentality annuciated here by whiny little shit heads in giant pick up trucks who hate every nickel spent on
nuclear energy because, unlike the stupid yuppies themselves, nuclear produces a big
return on investment.
I favor an internationally funded 100 trillion dollar subsidy to nuclear energy on an emergency basis. Nuclear, unlike the shitty solar system robbing my kids at the Junior High, works.
