This is the post you responded to: "I can't speak to nuclear, but I'm entirely unfamiliar with the subsidy programs that exist for oil/gas, particular in light of the plethora of industry specific costs. Got a link to these subsidy programs? " Sorry, but there is a huge difference. As an...

Let's confine this to oil/gas companies that you initially stated as the beneficiaries of government subsidies. Do you believe that tax incentives and outright subsidies are identical?

I forgot to add: sub·si·dy (sbs-d)n. pl. sub·si·dies 1. Monetary assistance granted by a government to a person or group in support of an enterprise regarded as being in the public interest. 2. Financial assistance given by one person or government to another. 3. Money formerly granted...

I did read the link and incorporating "natural gas and petroleum liquids" is one hell of a broad category. Further, the only component that had any real substance was in the Tax Expenditures section that defines itself as: "Tax expenditures are provisions in the Federal tax code that reduce...

You'd almost think that an individual that made such broad-based statements would actually provide proof. Too much to ask I guess.

I can't speak to nuclear, but I'm entirely unfamiliar with the subsidy programs that exist for oil/gas, particular in light of the plethora of industry specific costs. Got a link to these subsidy programs?

You had mentioned earlier in the thread that you believed that the increase in anthropogenic CO2 had direct impact in the acidification of the oceans (via the ocean being a carbon sink I presume). Further, you indicated that the ocean temperatures were rising. I'm a little curious as to how...

Accomplishment vs development.. I like it. Too bad that the wind/solar industries are decades away from "accomplishing" the feat of being economically viable. It's also too bad that those industries haven't accomplished the feat of getting the general public on board like oil/gas has. Let's...

Why?... I mean, its such a great thing that everybody demands, right? Wind doesn't bow 24/7/365... Solar isn't to great at night or when it's raining/snowing, is it? So, how was it even possible that California passed their green legislation in the first place? I suppose that it's the...

That's your answer to Gore/Suzuki living a life-style that is the exact opposite of what they demand of everyone else?... They can do more? Think really hard about what you stated and then get back to me. British High Court ruling on Gore's pack-o-lies he called Inconvenient Truth...

those damn Belgians and their waffles... Come to think of it; waffles, sausages.. Hell their both breakfast foods and I'm pretty damned sure that Jules Verne ate breakfast. We're through the looking glass here folks.

So, that entitles them to fly in the face of everything that they preach?.... Spare me. The British High Court, for one. You are the one that is stating that the options exist. The reason why they aren't being adopted on a wholesale basis is due to inconsistencies or high cost. The...

... and you know this?... How exactly?

What is it then?

better think a little harder about it Anna... The oil of today were organic materials millions of years ago that were inventoried out of the supply for that time. Leaving that "carbon" where it was would represent a carbon deficiency.I told you that this would be splitting hairs, however, people...

Quote: You're still ducking the question though. I think it's because you don't like the answer.

I'm simply making a point to Anna regarding the wisdom in the EPA's latest blunder. If one really wants to split hairs; everything, including oil is carbon neutral.

.. But, but, but the EPA says that CO2 is bad and evil and trees emit CO2 during the night... Why are you not lobbying for the elimination of this horrendous source of CO2? You're still ducking the question though. ... But they're still not anywhere close to being the same, are they?

Is your position that the warming and acidifying of the oceans is due to increased levels of CO2 from anthropogenic sources?

Did you not mention at one point that the oceans were warming?
