So oil gets a nice subsidy and it is ok?
How much does the military subsidy cost to protect foreign oil fields so we can import oil? And watch oil company profits go into the tens of billions of dollars.

if we quit protecting foreign oil fields, how much would oil cost then.

ETHANOL DOESN'T NEED AN ESCORT. As there is more ethanol produced, subsidy will be reduced. At least the subsidy benefits AMERICANS.

If we became energy independent, how many aircraft carriers would we sell? How many tanks? How many divisions would we disband? The military cost is not because of oil. That said we could easily get all our energy needs from North America and we should. But we allow environmentalists and democrats to hold this country hostage.
