ENERGY BLACKMAIL. SUBSIDY CUTS MEAN POVERTY.
Energy companies speak in threats now. They have traded policy debate for outright blackmail.
Their message is blunt. Cut the tax credits and we will cut your jobs.
We will raise your electricity bill.
It is a standard corporate routine. The profit motive always wins.
Government subsidies are not about environmental stability. They are about keeping the machinery running for shareholder returns.
The infrastructure of our power grid is already brittle. It is kept afloat by corporate promises.
These promises vanish the second the checkbook slows.
This entire debate reveals one thing. The supposed transition to green energy is just a new profit center.
It is not a civic good. It is a cash cow.
When the government winks on the subsidies the companies do not retrench. They simply raise the toll.
The cost of keeping the lights on is always calculated against the cost of their stock options.
That is the only metric that matters.
The system is designed for this feedback loop. Subsidy dependence. Threat inflation.
More power is not guaranteed. Only more debt is visible.
