#4   The DOD is largely a fossil fuel subsidy designed to protect US fuel imports & the world economy.

#3  Many of these energy companies have Direct Purchase Plan (DDP) investment venues which can be accessed for a little as an initial $250. outlay. These firms are NOT the enemy, but rather represent our opportunity. Of course if you do not believe in capitalism, desire the free stuff, and simply wish to bitch and moan, then class warfare is certainly for you.

#2  The usual nonsense about fossil fuel subsidies.

The three largest US fossil fuel subsidies were:

Foreign tax credit ($15.3 billion)
Credit for production of non-conventional fuels ($14.1 billion)
Oil and Gas exploration and development expensing ($7.1 billion)

1 and 3 are standard deductions available to all businesses. 2 looks like a biofuel subsidy.
