I guess that's the sounding technique that someone else posted about a while back. Take a situation (the silliness of the subsidies the world has been pouring into the oil industry the last many decades for example and the harm we now know it causes for global climate and world power, control and imbalance struggles) and flip that situation around into an argument against the transformation away from fossil fuels. And people think our current way of life on this planet is not a problem. And people think they aren't naive.
Mmmm...I'm not sure how to explain this to you Spartz (rolls eyes ).
Fossil fuel -Production- is subsidized. It is subsidized, just like a lot of critical industries like agriculture, to ensure the United States has domestic energy security, just like food security, employment security etc etc etc.
It's completely different to Renewables, which are subsidized to push a woke agenda about Global warming. No amount of Renewables subsidies will give the United States energy security. It's mathematical fact. You may not feel warm and fuzzy about it but there you go. And I haven't even started on the diametrically ridiculous situation that with EV's (just to bring this back on topic), it's the - Consumption and Production that is being subsidized -. For a myth. LOL.
