Coal, oil, gas, hydro, nuclear, wind, solar, and ethanol have all received and are still receiving federal and local subsidies to promote/enable their use to improve the standard of living of all Americans.

Would you point out what you considered a federal subsidy for oil and natural gas?

Your livelihood comes from your work in a subsidized industry, no?

I am an electrical engineer designing facilities in the oil/gas/petrochem industries. There is little doubt that increased subsidies/mandates as have been proposed by Pickens over the last 5 years or so would create more work for my field of work. I still don't support it.
