We hear a lot about oil subsidies. I haven't seen them. The oil companies bid for leases (when they are offered) and pay not only for the leases, but pay royalties on any production as well.
Anyhow, between the waste and fraud from COVID, and this "green" energy giveaway, every man, woman, and child in North Dakota could have been made a millionaire if all they'd had was the lint in their pockets, and there would have been change left over.
