“The world is rich in hydrocarbon energy”

Not so rich, however, that we can keep up our current energy consumption indefinitely or even for another 50 years. Which is why we need nuclear power. Renewables too, if they ever work out the kinks. The day we are energy independent is the day we can tell the Middle East KMA.

“Only gov’t provided energy is GOOD and safe.”

Considering that the US government is subsidizing Exxon-Mobil et al. to the tune of billions of dollars I’m pretty sure oil is gov’t provided energy too.

I do not know where you get your information, but you are 100% WRONG.

There is enough hydrocarbon energy to serve our needs for 200 years.

Renewables are not viable in any way. The wind/solar experiment proved they are FAILURES beyond any doubt.

Lastly, your link to “subsidies” is utter BULLSHIT. They are tax breaks. Subsidies are payments made to industries....like wind/solar.

The tax deductions given to oil/gas are no different than any other industry for an asset depreciating over time.
