Yep, I agree that there is a huge problem with big government and its associated subsidies.  For comparison, the Port of Anchorage tank farms did not get ADEC, EPA, CG, BIA, funding to build the infrastructure.  Nor do the owners of our port facilities get government funding for spills that result from the mismanagement of their facilities. The degree of disregard for the environment that I have witnessed in the bush is disappointing. I have authored spill plans for many bush communities; so yes, I do know a bit about many rural bush communities and their lack of respect for the environment.

When it comes to subsidies for energy, nothing comes close to the government subsidies for solar power.  Subsidies for natural gas and petroleum liquids come in at $0.0006 per kWh.  Solar gets subsidies of $0.9680 per kWh.  That means, according to the U.S. Department of Energy,  that solar power gets 1,600 times more subsidies than natural gas and petroleum liquids per kWh.
