摘要

Total subsidies for renewable energy stood at S66 billion in 2010, but are still dwarfed by the total value of global fossil fuel subsidies estimated at between S775 billion and more than S1 trillion in 2012, according to new research conducted by theWorldWatch Institute for its Vital Signs Online service. Although the total subsidies for renewable energy are significantly lower than those for fossil fuels, they are higher per kilowatt-hour if externalities are not included in the calculations, write report authors from WorldWatch's Climate and Energy team.Estimates based on 2009 energy production numbers placed renewable energy subsidies between 1.7 and 15 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), while subsidies for fossil fuels were estimated at around 0.1-0.7 per kWh. Unit subsidy costs for renewables are expected to decrease as technologies become more efficient and the prices of wholesale electricity and transport fuels rise. The production and consumption of fossil fuels add costs to society in the form of detrimental impacts on resource availability, the environment, and human health.The U.S. National Academy of Sciences estimates that fossil fuel subsidies cost the United States S120 billion in pollution and related health care costs every year. But these costs are not reflected in fossil fuel prices. "These so-called hidden costs, or externalities, are in fact very real costs to our societies that are not picked up by the polluter and beneficiary of production but by all taxpayers," said Alexander Ochs, Director of WorldWatch's Climate and Energy program and report co-author. "Local pollutants from the burning of fossil fuels kill thousands in the U.S. alone each year, and society makes them cheaper to continue down their destructive path."
