Wind received more subsidies than coal, gas and nuclear power combined. They also get secret meetings with DOI, are excused from prosecution for killing protected species and have the DOI blessing on killing rare species like the California Condor. Wind absolutely gets sweetheart deals.

Trading one form of environmental degradation for another is different but different does not necessarily translate into “better”.
