- iaw 8y agoI think there's a large group of people that don't want to be retrained, fossil subsidies create a number of problems and screw with electricity market incentives in a way that could have horrendous repercussions. Welfare for this class wouldn't help me directly but a subsidy for the industry would likely hurt us all in a diffuse fashion over the long-term.
