Quick re-frame on subsidies enjoyed by different energy platforms

Hello Reader!

Yes I use the singular becaue
1) The chances of a choral reading being don of this or any other post (or blog for that matter) is SLIM.
2) I think most of the hits are robots indexing the content... Sad little robots without so much as a gear or actuator to call its' own. Just some navigation algorithms and n appetite for new URLs...

OK in my inbox was a link comparing the outcomes of subsidies for different fuel types in term of how much the resulting energy costs. Sobering in a good way.

I know Obama got teased for saying his energy plan was an "All of the Above." But it seems we are all acting that way already. If you have a grid connected home, even with solar panels you dip into the coal/gas/nuke/hydro grid sources and then drive a car or accept foods delivered closer to your home by trucks, cook it up with natural gas or electricity, keep it cool with electricity and then read over by the window for some direct solar but aim your chilly toes at the fireplace or tuck them under the dog. So the question becomes not if but to what extent we partake in these different sources and then what we get from each in return. No?
