Seem that the haters can only find references to complete bullshit and links to the same sort of tax eductions which are avaiable to other kinds of businesses.
Wonder why?
"Why?" is because there is no such thing as "oil welfare".
There is only the Tax Code.
If you don't like the Tax Code, write your Congress people and get it changed.
And convert your cars to pedal power.
I support "renewable" energy sources but am realistic enough to know that solar and wind will not replace fossil, hydroelectric or nuclear.
The Sun only shines in the daytime and storage on a large scale is virtually impossible. Battery banks of meaningful size would be incredibly expensive, not to mention the cost and environmental impact of inveters to make the stored power useful.
Much of the wind power equipment (Virtually all!) comes from offshore, which does little to reduce our dependence on offshore energy sources. Wind power stations also kill birds by the thousands and in some very new ways negatively affect the surrounding environment.Coal (Fossil) powered plants are the best go right now but fraught with problems. Clean Coal is not a myth but more work needs to be done. Ethanol production only raises food prices and is inefficient as Hell.
Instead of investing time, labor and effort in pipe-dream energy systems, I think we are much better off trying to cut down on useage, drive like sane people to get better fuel economy and work towards fusion power.
Conservation is the thing.
TRUE conservatives conserve, reuse and seek efficiency and safety in all matters related to the environment and energy production.
And don't drill in ANWR and stop sending money to Brazil to finance THEIR offshore drilling as has done H.Obama. The USA needs to start taking care of itself and start now. We should not ruin our environment in order to save it.
And before I forget............................................ ...................
What about all that "oil welfare" anyway?
AND WE SHOULD STOP FIGHTING WARS OVER OIL!
THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF OIL WORTH ONE AMERICAN LIFE!
