The total value for oil and gas combined was $35 million. dThere may be small values for oil produced from shale and tar sands. Any such values are included in the value for natural gas. eAlthough the tax expenditure provision applies to oil, natural gas, solids, and steam produced from other than conventional sources, the $1,030 million income tax credit is estimated to be almost entirely for nonconventional natural gas. fThere may be small values for synthetic fuels produced from coal, fuel from qualified processed wood, and steam from solid agricultural byproducts. Any such values are included in the value for natural gas. gSolar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy facilities. hIn addition to the income tax expenditures in the table, there is a gasoline excise tax preference which amounted to an estimated $725 million in fiscal year 1999.
