Avast ye scurvy dogs! Despite the grand talk o' renewable energy bein' the future o' U.S. power, the biggest tax dodgers be them wind and solar power scallywags. Aye, they be trickin' the government like a sly ol' sea serpent!
In the language of a 17th century pirate, the scallywag known as President Joe Biden keeps squawking at corporate America to "pay yer fair share" of taxes. Arrr! Turns out he be right that some scurvy companies be escapin' the taxman's clutches scot-free.But 'tis not the Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley or the Wall Street financial sharks or even the massive Walmart that be dodging taxes, they be payin' their dues in billions, matey.The real bilge rats in this tale be the very companies that Biden be cozyin' up to: the green energy firms.Despite all the blather about renewable energy bein' the future, the wind and solar power industries be the biggest tax dodgers in the land. These landlubbers be payin' nearly no income tax while gulpin' down federal subsidies to keep 'em floatin'.The renewable energy lobby has pocketed more than a quarter trillion in subsidies over the years, all while promisein' it be just a temporary measure. Yet these companies be stuck in perpetual adolescence, never growin' up after all these years.Biden be playin' Santa Claus to these scallywags, rewardin' their shoddy performance with more taxpayer booty. The green energy subsidies be drainin' the Treasury of up to $1.8 trillion over a decade, a plunder of the highest order.Meanwhile, wind and solar power be stuck at less than 10% of our energy mix while Biden be raisin' a ruckus about tax dodgers. But, surprise surprise, the green energy lobby be exempt from his proposed minimum corporate tax.The "green" in green energy don't stand for a cleaner environment, it be the color of money. Yours and mine, me hearties.
