read the article.

So it states that as of 2015, there are "virtually no" subsidies.

Why did a 150 year old mature industry need ANY subsidies for all those years? Arguably, it allowed it to fight alternative energy sources with taxpayers money. If the O&G industry needed subsidies for 150 years, how long would it be right for alternatives to get subsidies to catch up?

Legitimate question, even though I object to any industry getting any breaks. Please advise why.
