I'm sure that they have the same opportunities and writeoffs as everyone else if they wanted to invest in renewables in a serious way. Waht he is really asking for is effectively a tax structure which will socialise the losses of exploration but privatise the profits of production. I don't think he is an idiot, he's a capitalist.
Well in the US, the laws providing the incentives for renewables have lapsed in part (or close to all) from what I understand about some legislation that got blocked recently. He won't have to worry about taxes here forever. When it gets bad enough we will nationalize the petrochem industry... we're running out of countries to invade.
