I am not willing to find more examples. It was the first fossil fuel project that came to my mind and after minimal googling i found there was massive government support. However even just googling returns results which disprove your assertion https://odi.org/en/press/europe-providing-more-than-112-billion-a-year-in-fossil-fuel-subsidies-with-almost-half-benefiting-the-transport-sector-new-report/ https://odi.org/en/press/europe-providing-more-than-112-bill....
- Schroedingersat 4y agoYou have to be careful with some of those analyses. They have a strong tendency to double count, and include things that wouldn't be taxed anyway because they're business expenses. Incredibly frustrating and undermines the point because it allows the shills to dismiss them out of hand and lump in the real subsidies.
