"Green" subsidies.
Seems to be a topic taxing some here.
Twenty five times more is spent subsidising fossil fuels compared with renewables. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2473633/Global-warming-costs-world-billion-dollars-DAY--DOUBLE-needed-combat-climate-change-claims-report.html?ico=sciencetech^headlines |

Not here "IEA this year estimated that fossil fuel subsidies in 2011 reached approximately $523 billion for developing and emerging economies alone. By way of comparison, the same study estimated global renewables subsidies of $88 billion, including $20-22 billion for biofuels." And that is not about developed nations like ours. |

Not here "IEA this year estimated that fossil fuel subsidies in 2011 reached approximately $523 billion for developing and emerging economies alone. by way of tax breaks rather than subisdies in developed coountroes. Its just more green spin. By way of comparison, the same study estimated global renewables subsidies of $88 billion, including $20-22 billion for biofuels." And that is not about developed nations like ours. -- Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. |
