I do not think it is a very complicated equation. I think instead of tax credit for mature technologies to subsidize wind developers, most of that money goes to rich people who take tax deductions, and to subsidize oil and gas production, we could give tax credit for the R&D that you want and that would be one way to find the money.
Context
Alexander argues for reallocating funds from wind subsidies to clean energy research.
