This should have happened in the 1970's, it is more than past due.
Regular people that fight for big oil to get tax breaks are fools, I am sorry but you really are being used as tools.

The bigger question is why we aren't using free energy right now?
Where is this free energy you're talking about?
Rho
That's my question. We have it, and have had it, so why aren't we using it?

I believe that the best current alternative to gasoline-fueled automobiles are natural gas or propane-fueled ones. Domestic production is skyrocketing, regional distribution is already in place. Conversion of the engine technology is minimal and all that remains is a reasonable retail sales presence.
A significant percentage of these alternate fuel vehicles will drop the demand for gasoline even more which will subsequently make it less expensive.
Rho
But, demand for gas is at a 15 year low, yet prices continue to go up.

I don't think we should be subsidizing corporations that post billions of profits a year. In other parts of the economy subsidies go to people or companies that are struggling or starting up and need financial assistance.
I think this halt to subsidies is just a show anyways. He probably knows it isn't going to pass and therefore can use the "no" votes to define Republican Congress and get a majority back. Or use it somehow on the campaign to his advantage.
I think the reason gas is the most efficient source of energy right now is because it is subsidized and others are not (to the same extent). If we put as much time and resource into developing a successful non-gasoline powered vehicles or if gas all of a sudden dried up you can bet that companies would be coming out of the woodwork overnight with ideas and efficient vehicles.

I don't want to hear any more whining about subsidies from the bored cons
but I will
If it was Rho's goal to demonstrate that he does not believe in the free market system and supports subsides for industries making a profit without them then I suppose he "won"

Sorry about this endorsement Rho. I'm sure if you could get off the Republican talking points Combat wouldn't have done this to you.

Perhaps you missed that I was in favor of ending the subsidies.
