The subsidies to oil companies don't contribute to profits.



Can you point to the subsidy that specifies it only applies to unprofitable operations?



All of them.


Can you point to one that's not?





Sure.


Petroleum producers get favorable depreciation rules. Its possible to deduct from your taxes more than you invest to locate and acquire property for exploration/production. They also get to depreciate assets quicker.


So theres two.

I can care less where energy comes from. So long as prices stay the same and it doesn't kill people. But nothing we have to date meets that criteria so why not just leave it be?

Coal is only cheap because you can get the rest of society to pay most of the costs.


By subsidizing solar panels society is just sorta doing the same thing for solar power. Only solar power only costs money, not lives.
