Fiction Vs. Reality On Those Fossil-Fuel Subsidies
Some political targets are temporary, little more than props deployed in pursuit of a tactical advantage in the Beltway skirmish of the day.
Others are permanent fixtures in the landscape, the foundations of an ideological worldview impervious to facts, reasoning, and the perverse outcomes that the attendant policy imperatives would engender.
Prominent among the latter is the long-standing opposition to fossil fuels, the companies that produce them, the people engaged in such economic activity, and the U.S. regions in which fossil fuels are concentrated.
In terms of that ideological worldview, the attacks on the fossil-fuel sector have been driven precisely by the national wealth creation, freedom, and advancement of human well-being yielded by the availability of energy both abundant and efficient.
