LOL on the vegan diet. You're probably right. :-)
My premise is simply an opinion. I did not say, "I want everyone to play on a level playing field." I do, but I didn't say that before. I DO NOT want oil companies to receive any subsidies, either, because it opens the door to corrupt practices. Substantially more of our fuel dollars go to the government in taxes than to the oil companies in profit - so why do they need a 'rebate' in the form of a subsidy?
My dad worked for a monopolistic power company in my home state, and I remember to this day when he brought home an electric vehicle... in the early 1970s! I recall the 'trunk' being literally filled with car batteries, and the thing worked. It's a crying shame that between then and now we haven't been able to produce a viable electric vehicle. The reasons are multitudinous, but I am NOT against an electric vehicle, as long as I'm not FORCED to buy one. I want it to drive and perform well, and hold its value. That's all I'm asking.
