    Federal subsidies for electricity generation in the United States provide the most support to renewable energy resources like wind and solar power. In 2007, wind power received $23 per megawatt hour in federal subsidies while solar PV received $24 per megawatt hour, both significantly higher than the subsidies provided to coal, natural gas, and nuclear which received between $0.3 to $1.1 per megawatt hour. Conventional energy sources receive more overall funding due to larger production, but renewable technologies receive disproportionately higher subsidies per unit of production.
