We don’t “hand” them anything. It’s an upfront tax break on the cost of exploration. By the way, you need to post a live link.
It’s the first time I’ve posted a news article. I had my fingers crossed on whether it would post correctly or not.
Sorry about that.
And you are right about the subsidies, but we are ticked off at GE and their annual tax subsidies. I don’t HAVE to buy a GE dishwasher or even fly in a plane with GE engines. I have a choice there. I HAVE to pay $4.15 a gallon when these guys are literally raking in money hand over fist. These guys are and have been for many years, crooked. Unless you are Amish, there’s no way around handing them money.
