alt Hacker NewsHi! How is it decentralization if it's subsidized by the government?
And which libertarians are in favor of oil subsidies? I'd like to have a talk with them

The technologies for renewable energy are inherently more decentralized than those for fossil fuels. My point was clearly this and nothing else: given that there are subsidies for both, a libertarian should be less upset about renewable subsidies since it is an enabling force for individual liberties when it comes to energy production. In practice, they are very outspoken about renewable subsidies and fairly quiet on oil subsidies.

> How is it decentralization Producers of electricity being everywhere is more distributed than relatively centralized power generation stations. Regardless of who paid (part of) it
