In 2011, two-thirds of the $24 billion in energy-related subsidies went to renewable energy and energy efficiency, the Economist noted. About $6 billion went to ethanol alone. The bigger question with renewables is whether the public is getting its money’s worth from subsidies. That’s more difficult to assess in the short term, but getting reliable data to track is the first step. The issue, after all, isn’t about picking winners, it’s about wasting too much money on losers.
