Leveling the playing field by getting rid of the billions of public money that goes to fossil, nuclear and hydro would eliminate the need for the PTC. If you start adding in the negative externalities, the arguments become very different: how little base load can we get away with when renewables are so cheap? The jobs it generates ink rural areas are a great bonus.
