United States subsidizes the fossil fuel industry with taxpayer dollars. By some estimates, taxpayers pay about $20 billion every year to the fossil fuel industry.
It’s not just the US: according to the International Energy Agency, fossil fuel handouts hit a global high of $1 trillion in 2022 – the same year Big Oil pulled in a record $4 trillion of income.
$3 trillion isn’t enough profit?🤬

Sick sick sick sick shit. Is this to keep prices low? Remove all subsidies and people will change their behavior.
