I personally don't give a rats butt about the fact that government tax incentives favor BIG oil. I do have issues with fairness. My feeling is that renewables/alternative energy options need and deserve the same tax break incentives and consideration so there are future options/alternatives for those that want and/or need them by reducing the demand on BIG foreign oil while creating new jobs and expanding OUR USA's economy...........not the league of Arab Nations.
My only point is that people bitch about tax dollars going to encourage the development of renewables and EV's and don't acknowledge the fact that big oil has gotten it's share of incentives and continues to do so.
Your listed examples of tax incentives are not relevant to BIG oil & renewable energy. Granted, it does take energy to procreate and even more energy to raise children. Many parents stop at drill baby, drill procreation and forget about parenting.
I can't find myself in total disagreement with you. I do however have a problem with wind energy when the generators are made in China or South America and trucked 500 or 600 miles while the environmentalists complain about big trucks. Have you seen one of those rigs with 18 or 20 axles eating up the roads out in West Texas with nothing on it but a couple of turbine blades? . I have a similar problem when the Solar farms use panels made in foreign countries.
And as far as creating jobs in America, that isn't wind or solar. Those jobs are off shore except for the truckers and riggers.
