I'd rather end the subsidies, and see them pass it on at the pump. That is the entire point of the article. It will even out the US market and show the propped-up oil industries for what they are.

The oil industry in the US has been an untenable bloated welfare recipient for decades now. They are getting bilions and billions of dollars from us. We're broke. It's time the welfare handouts to Big Oil stopped.

For the first time, we're a net exporter of oil. Time we used that cushion to wean the dependent off government subsidies, and allow the entire energy market to flourish.

Oh - and our pollution to decrease.
