I saw a comment the other day about how renewables and EVs are only viable cos of subsidies. I wish it was better known by the general population just how much governments subsidise the fossil fuels industry. In .NL it's something like €40bn a year. Now imagine if we spent that on district heating, and public transport, and heat pumps? And actually built the offshore wind farms that noone tendered for.

This all seems so fucking obvious.

When I hear people say this, I always say, "Yes! We should remove subsidies from all forms of energy! I'm so glad that you are going on the public record as being against the subisies for fossil fuels!" :D
