That said, I believe we do need to be much more prudent when awarding loan guarantees. Personally, I would favor a system that doesn’t include loan guarantees for energy companies, but that also (and this is important) doesn’t include any tax breaks or other subsidies (such as charging less than market value for minerals royalties on public lands) for fossil fuel companies. Let’s level the playing field for everyone.
