    Sure, everyone loves 1. to have stabilized supply and prices 2. be the first to ramp up the production of new tech and reap benefits of scale 3. to complain about taxes used as above :)

  Maybe that's the US thing? In my country I'm not aware of any subsidies towards oil companies, on the contrary, more than a half of retail gas price is taxes.
