Renewable energy ignored

In your July 29 article titled "Energy bill has billions in tax breaks," I was pleased to see extensive coverage of many aspects related fossil fuel industries.

In fact, it was so detailed that you ran out of room to include any relevant information about renewable energies. It is possible that the bill did not include any amendments toward wind or solar energy industries.

It is a shame that The Spokesman Review has overlooked the bigger picture that our government provides billions of dollars more in subsidies to oil corporations than it does to the renewable energy companies. This bill did not help to level the playing field, and neither did The Spokesman Review.
