Federal oil and gas subsidies

The study found that oil, natural gas, and coal received $414 billion, $140 billion, and $112 billion (2015 dollars), respectively, or 65% of total energy subsidies over that period. In 2013 the EIA estimated total renewable subsidies at $15 billion annually, (compared to $2.3 billion for oil and gas). Total subsidies for solar in 2013 were $5.3 billion and wind $5.9 billion. Still, seen over the long course of energy support from the federal government, renewable subsidies pale in comparison to those given to fossil fuels. Overall, for Fiscal Years 2009 through 2012, oil, gas, and coal accounted for the smallest portion of federal energy subsidies of the five categories. For this time period, oil, gas, and coal accounted for 2 percent of total tax subsidies for energy.
