The subsidies and tax breaks are endless. Subsidies on gas boilers, peying for upgrades and maintenance on electricity plants, subsidizing exploration, spending vast amounts to secure sources and prevent the countries who own it from making bp or shell pay fair value or fair wages, preferential land taxes etc etc. Cars paying for a small fraction of the infrastructure they use via fuel tax isn't the slam dunk you think it is. It's actually just another example of subsidy because much of the roads, and parking, and port facilities and pipelines are paid for by vat and income tax. With further communal resources being spent via space reserved on every private and commercial property for the benefit of cars such as setbacks and parking minimums. A tiny fraction of the public resources we have spent on fossil fuels, and later nuclear could have completed a green transition at any time in the last century.
