The Oil and gas industry gets very little taxpayer funds. They do get things like accelerated depreciation (pushing out taxes), etc. The last leftist blog that linked to all the "subsidies" oil & etc got was over 95% simply depreciation and accelerated depreciation. Hardly unique and not really a subsidy - simply pushing out tax liabilities. In the last 3 years, Exxon mobile alone has paid $23 BILLION, net, in taxes. And that's just one company. TSLA paid 48 million in that time frame, likely all state and local tax fees and $0 federal, while receiving a direct federal subsidy of $5 billion in revenue, and arguably more as probably 75%+ of their sales would not have occurred without the subsidy.
Nope....just a guy who follows science and tech after retiring from a successful career in industry.
Like I was getting at, you are just another socialist with his hand in the cookie jar.
LOL. The only time I was using taxpayer money was a year in grad school when my dissertation professor had an EPA grant.
The entire rest of my working life has been in profit-driven businesses.
How that makes me a "socialist with his hand in the cookie jar" escapes me.
