New EU climate chief: ‘The sooner fossil fuels become history, the better’::Former Shell man Wopke Hoekstra stressed the importance of phasing out fossil fuels and its subsidies
What’s next? Commissioner for Justice saying crime is bad? Commissioner for Fisheries saying fish are neat?
Blow it out your ass until you do something substantive Hoekstra!

Removing subsidies is a start… they’ve never made any sense. If a company can’t make money selling fuel then they must be the most incompetent company on earth.

I think corporations will just pass on the cost to the consumers if they don’t get subsidies lol.
Given our reliance on it it’s a lot more than just basic supply and demand

yes, kind of the point.
While it would definitely, absolutely suck to be on the receiving end of the price hike, it would cause more and more people to finally switch to alternatives or use less of it, where possible.

The reliance thing is part of demand.
