What about socialized impacts?
Since the burning of oil-derived products such as gasoline has large impacts on public health and the environment that are not paid for by either the oil industry or the end-users, I would argue that we are heavily subsidizing fossil-fools in America. Unfortunately, since a major pollutant from the oxidation of fossil-fool is particulates that have been shown to lower I.Q. scores, I guess we are doomed to a population that is too stupid to make this industry pay its full costs.
