In this testimony supporting SB 1754, Dr. Brent Bennett reveals how tax abatements for renewable energy are distorting both Texas’s tax system and electricity market. He presents striking data showing wind and solar have received more federal subsidies than all fossil fuels combined, with solar getting 100 times more per megawatt-hour than natural gas. Despite massive subsidies approaching $1 trillion over the next decade, Texas electricity prices have risen 28% in just four years.
