Oh they did include the oil subsidies, but they propose FAR less reduced subsidies for oil than for ag and biofuels. Biofuels being a smaller portion of the fuel supply for now, were these reductions to occur it would be a huge NET WIN for petroleum, and a major setback for domestic energy.

So they attack biofuels subsidies, don’t attack petroleum subsidies, and pick solar subsidies as their choice-without revealing so. It sounds like FOTE is a shill for the status quo-Big Oil. And shame on them for smearing the farmers who provide food, fiber, fuel, and jobs to so many Americans. Let alone harassing ag workers for info to spin in their favor. Solar is cool-for its worthwhile and somewhat limited applications. But we can’t have enough diverse energy on solar alone, and this FOE group should be ashamed. If only the farmers could redirect their food away from these folks, if for a few days. Let’s not forget that much of the energy in biofuels IS liquid sunshine. Excellent review!
