Oil and gas subsidies don't exist.
- valleyer 3y agoA literal reading of this comment is easily falsifiable[1][2], so can you explain what you mean?

- Teever 3y agoThat's absurd. Practically every industry gets some form of subsidies, and some much more than others. You're just regurgitating some O&G spin talking point that was put out to counter a recent report that may or may not have over estimated the amount of subsidies to O&G depending on your interpretation of the statistics. But that doesn't mean that O&G subsidies don't exist. How do I know? My salary comes from those subsidies.
