It's sad that they could only end the fossil fuel subsidies when they had already reached 100% renewable power.
Hopefully other countries will end fossil fuel subsidies much sooner than that.

If the EU says they are, they will be resumed. The government does say they plan to review them, but hasn't yet. Still, the subsidies are just to ensure that the plants are kept ready to assist if there's a need.
