Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV): Coal ‘Doesn’t Get A Penny Of Subsidies’
Politics • February 2011 • Views: 652
Wait, what? Last I checked, coal is heavily subsidized:
What I don’t understand is the subsidies. The subsidies of energy, whether it be to oil, gas, wind, solar, biofuels, ethanol. The only energy source — which is the greatest source that we have so far as we’re dependent on — is coal. It doesn’t get a penny of subsidies. But it’s been villainized by this administration and so many people and it’s the one we depend on the most. It gives back more than it takes. I can’t figure it out.
