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.

@quixoticgeek €40 biljon a year allows for quite some lobby apparatus in #TheHague and Brussels. Plus rich rewards for public servants to join the corrupt #fossilindustry after their stint in public office. And don't underestimate the determination in defending the wealth biljonairs enjoy, it is their God given right to rule
