fossil fuel subsidies

So the GOP wants to eliminate subsidies for electric cars. How about they start with eliminating subsidies that suppport coal ash and fossil fuels that pollute your neighborhood. This is money that flows directly from the government to fossil fuel companies to support activities like exploration, extraction, and development.

A conservative estimate puts the U.S. total fossil fuel subsidies at around $20.5 billion annually, including $14.7 billion in federal subsidies and $5.8 billion in state-level incentives. A whopping 80 percent of this goes to oil and gas (with the rest supporting coal), and most of the subsidies are in the form of tax deductions and exemptions and other “obscure tax loopholes and accounting tricks” that result in massive avoided costs for fossil fuel producers.
