Most example are the Government trying to entice energy companies to develop what the GOVERNMENT wants. Expense write offs aren't subsidies, they are just like any other business expensing capital investment.
And there are no tax breaks specific to Oil companies that are not variants of tax breaks offered to other companies.
In short, Oil companies are taking advantages of government programs just the same as GE, Disney, GM, and Tesla
The nominating process is defined by the Party. A Private entity.
Since it exists in a private organization, there is no legal obligation to be "fair", despite the context of Primaries and political parties, which kind of suggests fair voting and representation.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

But, we are definitively seeing that process in action now.
I think there are plenty of asshole things you could do to a driverless car that isn't illegal.
For instance, just get in front of it and drive 10 mph under the limit. Unless these things have a routine for that, the user will have to go manual to pass.
Ya...just search youtube for Road Rage and see all the fun things that people do.
The Key takeaway here is saving $15k a month on heating bills.
If the savings are representative or what can be achieved elsewhere, the economics and payback period work out, then it's a Win-Win.
The surest way to bring someone over to your Environmentalists side is to show people they can save lots of money. Haranguing them about the CO2 and driving up energy costs...not so much.

Restrictions on frivolous lawsuits and lawsuits designed to harass does not equal no regulations and unsafe operations.
Sorry...not buying it.

You mean like Disney, GM, GE, etc?
I keep reading that Oil gets "subsidies" but no one ever gives any examples.
Keep in mind that repealing something like the "Windfall Profit Tax" is not a subsidy.
I've lost paid for music.
Are they grouping inherent risks with medical errors?
Medicine definitely falls into the Rocket Science category of difficult.
I first heard it in the movie Kingsmen.
It was use in reference to a custom tailored suit.
Not that long ago all of Slashdot thought we were just a simulation.
So the real God is some dateless geek, jacked up on Mountain Dew, sitting in a dark room..in the previous simulation.
It's dateless Geeks...all the way down.
Stop with the bespoken power plants.
Henry Ford Showed how to do it 100 years ago.
Turn right HERE!
Four point text on some street names.
So you zoom and and they shrink all the text back to its original four point font.
Google is supposed to have a lot of smart people.
Maybe they are all on a 5 year sabbatical.
Wait...did you really just say that Capitalism doesn't ensure progress and then turn around and cite the Industrial Revolution as an example?
Do you get a credit if the driver is late?

Just think of Norman.
Trolling driverless cars.
Brake checks, lane changes, etc.
These companies have no idea what awaits them on the road.
I said "people"
To paraphrase Agent K:
"People are smart. People in Government are dumb, stupid animals bereft of common sense and imagination."

He meant to say 2 million functions in one line of code.
I was expecting an interview with John Cleese.
There have been very few "new things" in the last 30 years.
New coding technology these days is kind of like bathing in dirty water. It's all the same dirt, just in moved around to different places.
infinite number of simulations to arise from an almost infinite number or civilizations
Isn't this about the same thing as saying it's Turtles, all the way down.
I just got a load of drones from the grocery store yesterday.
...what they found on the phone.
My guess....porn.
