re: Also if you give the net subsidy oil receives to alternatives sources, rather then the gross subsidy, you would be cutting subsidies and probably imposing a net additional cost on those energy sources. Exactly. Carrot and stick. You misunderstand. If you apply the net subsidy oil receives to alternative sources you would be applying a stick to them not a carrot. And it's difficult to get through your ideological haze that government has a role in this country without showing an example. I do now, and have always thought that government has a role to play in this country. Establishing that idea isn't necessary, and is basically irrelevant.
