How much would gasoline cost if we got rid of oil subsidies?

Subsidies? More than half of the cost of gas station fuel is tax.
That's why red diesel exists

There's no such thing as oil subsidies. Gas is heavily taxed.
What is really subsidized is public transportation and cycling infrastructure. How much would a ticket cost if we got rid of subsidies?

All of which is to say: OCI has produced about the most conservative possible estimate of the subsidies received by fossil fuels in the US. These are solely production subsidies — taxpayer money that goes directly to producing more fossil fuels.

So what’s the verdict?

Adding everything up: $14.7 billion in federal subsidies and $5.8 billion in state-level incentives, for a total of $20.5 billion annually in corporate welfare.

And how much in subsidies does solar receive?
How much power does solar produce nationally?

>coal
That's not gasoline.
>$14.5 billion in consumption subsidies — things like the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
Not oil subsidies, that's poverty subsidies.
>unpaid costs of health and climate impacts
Lmao.. not even real.
>tax loopholes and accounting tricks
Also not subsidies.

Yeah no. Zero subsidies to consumer gas which is taxed. Cope more.
