| I never said "$7 trillion to be exact", that was someone else. The fact is that any subsidies to fossil fuel companies is wrong. They don't need it, and petroleum use in almost all industries is ruining the planet. |

| The people lamenting “the ruination of the planet” would be the first to be eaten by the people starving due to cessation of petroleum use. |

| ▲ | leptons 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Nobody is advocating for a sudden "cessation of petroleum use". Taking away subsidies from petroleum companies that already make record profits year after year isn't going to cause mass cannibalism, and I'm not sure why you would think that. Replacing petroleum use with sustainable green alternatives also won't cause mass cannibalism - because the energy sources will be replaced with better alternatives. I'm not sure how you jump from "replace petroleum" to "mass cannibalism", it's really quite absurd. |
