Government subsidies---- one of the worst things to a die-hard environmentalist.
Did you know that without the government subsidies for the environment, a gallon of gas will cost anywhere between $5-$15? Although that makes you want to jump out the window if it were true, do also consider that one of the main reasons the US is such a big user of energy and of oil is that cheap prices make them more available to consumers. Now I'm all about some good old fashion consumer-oriented economy, but without giving the public an accurate view of what exactly they are paying for (both for the gas and for the environment), how can we cultivate a well-informed and environmentally-knowledgeable society?
So go save some gas. Not only because you are a poor student about to be in college (hear hear), but also because you are a concerned citizen who wants the Earth to exisit for quite a while longer.

Yes indeed. Can you imagine if the subsidies were taken away and moved to alternative distributed photovoltaic power. It's clear those with a stake in coal sure can...
