Everyone likes a fair game right? Well I thought this was only fitting as we've been talking about
the end of the ethanol subsity. It caused so much controversy because it was subsidized. Yet, fossil fuels have TONS more subsities nobody ever mentions. This article clears things up a bit.
Also, wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to pay for your neighbor's SUV fuel?

Over the years, the subsidies doled out to the fossil fuels industry have become numerous, entrenched, and quite complex. Which makes them not only quite difficult to remove for political reasons, but often nearly invisible to the average citizen. In fact, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, there are at least 250 different kinds of subsidies for the fossil fuels industry.
