Non-renewable energy subsidies - per commissioners' request

-
29 May 2014 Good morning, Commissioners, In yesterday's ACC Workshop on Emerging Technologies, one of the presenters mentioned government subsidies for non-renewable energy sources. Commissioner Bob Burns said he was interested in learning more about these, and Brenda Burns echoed that sentiment. For those unfamiliar with fossil-fuel subsidies, the numbers can seem implausible at first.

Historically, hasty decisions have resulted in more regret, shortsightedness and net loss to all parties than well-deliberated ones. In this vein, I urge you all to avoid altering the current REST plan , avoid providing any waivers to the current or future DG carve-outs for regulated utilities, and - in general - avoid the imme...
