Re:Solar Just Hit a Record Low Price in the U.S by heisenbergs on Wednesday July 11, 2018 @08:06PM (#17511225)
This completely ignores the fact that every form of power generation is heavily subsidized, one way or another. For example, in the USA "some states" heavily subsidize fossil fuels by not raising any tax on gas. Somewhat of a nitpicking point you are raising here..

The point of the article is that in this case, even without subsidies solar would beat anything else. This is despite heavy import duties that were recently imposed.

>heavily subsidize fossil fuels by not raising any tax on gas.

Unless they are taxing solar, that's not a subsidy when comparing the two.

Where fossil fuels are subsidized is in the externalities they don't pay for (i.e. environmental impact).
