There really is no industry that is truly “free market” that doesn’t involve any sort of government incentives, tax breaks/credits or subsidies

There is a huge difference between tax breaks, etc for corporations and direct subsidies to consumers. Huge difference.

I'm fine with whatever tax breaks corporations can get. I don't mind the drilling thing tax break and I don't particularly mind carbon credits. But the govt paying people to buy a favored product is a step too far regardless of what that product is.
