- gruez 3y agoYour source has the exact issues that I mentioned in the previous comment, and fails to address them. >Explicit subsidies accounted for only 8 percent of the total. The remaining 92 percent were implicit subsidies, which took the form of tax breaks or, to a much larger degree, health and environmental damages that were not priced into the cost of fossil fuels, according to the analysis.
