While I disagree that oil subsidies equate to ICE subsidies, I’d appreciate a link if you think it has good information. I’ve attempted to research this issue before, but the information I’ve found is very poor. A common problem is grossly inflated figures that include deductions that apply to every business. Also, I haven’t found a resource that accounts for the full tax load on oil. For example, electrics are not subject to the sizable per-gallon taxes on gas and diesel, which means ICE cars are subsidizing electric’s road usage.
