• ... that coal and fossil gas is being subsidized by renewable energy in Turkey?

Overall: @Chidgk1: Good article, but the hook is kind of boring. Is there anything better you can use? Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:22, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know the hook is not great but I wanted to say something about renewable energy as a whole rather than one of the individual sources, as many of those have their own articles. Do you or anyone reading this have any hook suggestions? I will ask at a couple of project whether anyone else can think of a hookier hook. Chidgk1 (talk) 05:57, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the proposed hook idea is actually really interesting, as it is a specific economic intervention by the government in response to the war in Ukraine. Per the source, "the cost of natural gas and imported coal increased further due to geopolitical developments, which brought to the forefront the need to take certain measures in Türkiye to ensure energy supply security. The “Support Fee Based on Source” model was put into effect for a period of 6 months in order to protect the consumer, to prevent excessive increases in electricity prices and to commission the inoperative installed capacity...The Support Fee Based on Source model is based on transferring money from solar, wind and hydroelectric power plants with low operating costs to power plants with high operating costs such as imported coal and natural gas." (pages 8-9) Working that into the hook, how does say this work as a start?

ALT 1: "... that following the energy price shock caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Turkish government intervened to have the country's renewable energy subsidise coal and gas?"

Or maybe it would be more interesting if it were simpler phrasing?:

ALT 2: "... that renewable energy in Turkey helps pay for fossil energy in Turkey?
