I am confused, completely utterly confused. Are you saying that we don't subsidize oil exploration and extraction? Are you saying that coal is the source of most of the electricity in this country? Can you perhaps provide me with links as to how much electricity is coal generated, and how little the US taxpayer has given the gas and oil industry in the last few years? That will help my confusion. I'll check back.
