We should probably stop subdising fossil fuel companies so much by this arguement. I'd rather my tax pounds went to subsidising heat pumps than fossil fuels.
The UK government has given £20bn more in support to fossil fuel producers than those of renewables since 2015, the Guardian can reveal.
From 2020 to 2021 they received an extra £1bn support from the government compared with 2020, a 10.7% increase. For renewable energy in the same year, total support for projects increased by just £1m, or 0.01%.
