In this thoughtful article Catalyst CEO Gabe Phillips takes a close look at some of the nuances of clean energy incentives – and dispels a persistent myth. He addresses the industry assertion that renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels, clarifying that this is not the case given that we need govt incentives to lower the costs. He cautions against making this assertion as it “successfully convinces the public and elected officials that renewables are actually cheaper” which could lead to reductions in incentives when they are most needed.
