Hidden state taxes and subsidies inflate green energy costs, economist says

Economist William Hongsong Wang argues that up to half of household energy bills consist of hidden state taxes and fees, and that government subsidies for green energy are inflating costs, hindering innovation, and benefiting monopolies. The claims are presented in an interview format without corroborating data, so the analytical weight is limited. The item signals a policy critique that could influence public debate on energy pricing and subsidy design.
