Go on then. Please explain how you think the fossil fuel industry, which pays vast amounts of tax, is subsidised.Fossil fuel industry is currently subsidised to the tune of £20 billion a year in the UK.
It's no wonder they make such eye watering profits.
You can keep up your deluded bullshoite though, if it helps you through life
I'm guessing this must involve some kind of dodgy accounting for damage caused to fluffy bunny rabbits or something.
You can have whatever opinions of eco policies, but telling outright lies isn't a helpful starting point.
I know nothing about this so I Googled!
AI Overview
Yes, the UK fossil fuel industry receives significant government support, estimated to be around £17.5 billion per year, which includes tax breaks, financial incentives for producers, and support for fossil-fueled power plants through capacity market payments. This support includes measures like tax reliefs for oil and gas producers, exemptions from the Climate Change Levy, and payments to fossil fuel-based power plants to ensure grid stability.
Well the air line industry don’t pay any tax on there fuel and have not since it all kicked off
Due to some treaty drawn up decades ago

Paid for to an extent by our energy bills

£17.5 billion p.a.
So much for "outright lies", eh?
But if you want misrepresentation of the reality, Splineless is right up your street

Nah not buying that subsidy caper
More to it imo
Doesn't matter what you think though, does it?
You're paying it
Unless you don't pay tax, of course.
It's not the fossil fuel industry's fault that the grid is unstable if too much of the input is from wind or solar.
Maybe. I said I didn't know anything and was just posting a Google.

If you're a fan of sheer acceleration, you can't beat an EV.
No source given to this dubious partial-truth, but it's a tax break, i.e. a discount on the vast amount of tax they do pay.
Obviously the oil industry isn't subsidised, the govt rakes in tons of cash from the oil industry at all stages. When it's extracted, fuel duty, VAT etc etc.
