      It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of [concerns over privacy and the Open Web](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot). Fully cached AMP pages (like the one OP posted), are [especially problematic](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmputatorBot/comments/ehrq3z/why_did_i_build_amputatorbot).

      Maybe check out **the canonical page** instead: **[https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5840983-trump-defense-production-act-oil-coal-energy-infrastructure/](https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5840983-trump-defense-production-act-oil-coal-energy-infrastructure/)**

      I didn’t see subsidies going to energy companies anywhere in the article.

      Basically we’re winning so much, that we’ll have to start stripminning and burning coal to keep the lights on.

      “President Trump is abusing emergency authorities and wasting taxpayer resources through unprecedented abuse of the Defense Production Act to promote his politically-favored fossil fuel projects at the expense of energy affordability and common sense,” said Tyson Slocum, director of Public Citizen’s Energy Program in a written statement.

      Man, Trump is a fucking moron

      They are basically predicting the price of oil is going to go higher on global markets and that the diplomatic corps of the US don’t predict peaceful breakthroughs with Iran any time soon. This entire war was about global oil market share capture. Reduce the global market shares of the Gulf and Iran. Increase the global market shares of the US and its private corporations that engage in business abroad. The conflict between US/Israel and Iran was always about cutting the Gulf’s legs out from under them, reducing their soft power on the global stage.

      US energy companies weren’t too fond at investing into operations when oil prices were elevated in 2022, so it will be interesting to see what price US energy companies will be satisfied with.

      In addition to the MASSIVE subsidies we already give. Trillions spent keeping the flow of cheap oil flowing with the protection of the US military
