I want to have as few subsidies as possible on energy. That one big beautiful bill got rid of a lot of them. Of course solar is still massively subsidized today. If you start building something by July for this year, you'll get 10 more years of subsidies. So if we complete the wind down, we'll have subsidized wind power for only 40 plus years. So not sitting here advocating wind. I don't think turbines like do anything except kill birds to be there. (10:27–10:33)

CLAIM

Asserts that starting construction by July allows for 10 more years of subsidies.
