The same exact conservatives
The same exact conservatives that are claiming that the government shouldn't pick "winners and losers in the free market", recently re-instated tax subsidies that big oil has been receiving for years and years.
In other words, it's ENTIRELY hypocritical to make this point when OUR government has already subsidized petroleum, in other words, we have already picked the winner in the market: BIG OIL
The Koch Brothers own huge oil refineries in Texas and have a vested financial interest in keeping the country on petroleum. Pompeo received huge funding from this source as well.
What they don't want to tell you is that most of the infrastructure that we have in this country was jump-started by government subsidies.
This whole - "it's not the government's job to pick winners and losers in the market" - argument, is simply rhetoric spun by conservatives who want to keep the country addicted to foreign oil for their own personal financial gain
The tax credits for the Nat Gas Act will only last 5 years and will jump-start an industry that is our best chance of getting our country off of foreign oil and on to a domestic fuel source
Natural Gas is the cleanest fuel for a internal combustion engine (with the exception of hydrogen) and is the most practical solution to getting our country off foreign oil. Plus it's about half the price of gasoline and diesel in a time where our gasoline and diesel prices are going through the roof because we are being held hostage by OPEC
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!
