6 FAQs about [Gas station energy storage subsidies]
Do energy subsidies still exist?
Some of these subsidies have been around for a century, and while the United States has enjoyed unparalleled economic growth over the past 100 years—thanks in no small part to cheap energy—in many cases, the circumstances relevant at the time subsidies were implemented no longer exist.
What are the different types of energy subsidies?

Tax expenditure subsidies are targeted tax incentives that producers or consumers of specific forms of energy receive. In this case, the government does not spend money, but it loses revenue that it would have otherwise received.

Could fossil fuel subsidies increase oil production?
A recent analysis published in Nature Energy found that continuing current fossil fuel subsidies would make it profitable to extract half of all domestic oil reserves. This could increase U.S. oil production by 17 billion barrels over the next few decades and emit an additional 6 billion tons of carbon dioxide.
