Glad to see countries are finally waking up to the ludicracy of subsidies for fossil fuels. The companies that supply them are worth billions. You are correct that those subsidies could be better spent on items that truly help citizens. The cost of renewable energy keeps going down and we need more politicians to commit to this energy. Our legislators need to commit to eliminating these subsidies.

So happy to see you’ve written about this news! It’s unbelievable that $5.2 Trillion is spent globally on subsidies to fossil fuel companies. Taxpayer money is being freely handed over to the very criminals who are destroying our earth home! How absurd is that? What shyster concocted such a nefarious scheme & convinced countries to buy into this evil chicanery? I cannot make the smallest sense of it.

As you said, this is a small step but it’s a beginning. I fervently hope the United States & President Biden’s administration are very soon onboard with complete support & meaningful action. Thank you for this important article!
