Oil and gas industry started without any subsidy, unlike solar and wind.
I support removing all subsidies across the board, and letting people and businesses decide.

Not true
Solar panels were around in the late 1800s and started to commercialize in the 1950s when Bell labs came on the scene.
The first solar incentive wasn’t until the late 1970s and it wasn’t until the 90s when solar incentives started beefing up.
The oil and gas industry has been subsidized since 1916
Oil and gas subsidies have been in place for decades before solar.
Remove them all but championing to remove just solar is regarded
Solar the technology is great, which is different than solar pushed by the central planners at grid scale.
Spindletop is 1901.
Steam engine is a century+ older.
No subsidies or central planning to increase adoption for either was required.
Did oil cos lobby congress - sure - same as solar cos.
