Government energy subsidies run rampant in the USA, paid for by our tax dollars. It would make so much more sense for energy costs to be reflected in utility bills instead of our tax bills, but that's "inhumane" and a "war on the poor" (The bottom 40% pay no income taxes in the USA).

It also doesn't hurt that we produce more natural gas in Oklahoma than we use. Gas is cheap, it's the delivery infrastructure that costs.
