1. I support taxpayer subsidies to growing industries (ie Green tech) to spur their innovation. |

I don't support subsidies to companies that have been shown to have enormous profits. They can take care of themselves.

3. Rep. Ryan's economic analysis is sound. |
|
Making energy production more expensive in this country relative to foreign production will cause production/jobs to move off-shore.
Of course, you're right in a way as well... They will take care of themselves.

4. No, not sound. This doesn't make it more expensive 'relative to foreign production' |

I'm not an expert, but to me it only appears remove a protectionist policy that applies to everything else made in America. If we can agree that fossil fuels are an addiction the US can not afford - why do we want to encourage it further. Oil is already heavily subsidized by the US presence in the middle east - and the US taxpayers will undoubtedly continue to take care the oil industry in this way so they don't really have to "take care of themselves"
