    Yes, that’s what subsidies the oil and gas but it’s the external expenses to society that are the biggest subsidy. That’s what carbon taxes or carbon trading schemes are designed to address. This, the true cost makes oil and gas uneconomical compared to green energy.

    It’s like Walmart underpaying their workers, so they are entitled to food aid. The tru cost of living is not reflected in their wages. We all end up subsidizing the company instead of them paying their fair share.
