Do gas stations require subsidies?
- vel0city 2y agoThese chargers don't necessarily require subsidies to exist. The subsidies are to jump start and accelerate their development along strategic corridors. But yes, gasoline production and distribution gets a lot of subsidies. https://www.rd.usda.gov/hbiip https://www.rd.usda.gov/hbiip Do roads require subsidies to exist? Won't the free market just build all the roads people demand? Do you support the corruption of the government taking MY money at GUNPOINT to build YOUR roads? Or maybe there's a point in building out infrastructure that isn't directly and immediately profitable.
