  My understanding is that the vast majority of US subsidies in this area are for production rather than consumption subsidies aimed at reducing the price (only $44 billion out of $760 billion). The US is also on the lower end of fossil fuel subsidies compared to other countries at $28.16 per person in 2021, which seems considerably less than how much each person would have paid in fuel taxes that year.

  The “Cancel ChatGPT movement” doesn’t appear to be mentioned in the article, but other outlets say hashtags like #CancelChatGPT are trending on X.

  I wouldn’t trust those funds myself. Plenty of oil companies say they’re all about reducing CO2 and as I remember ESG was playing favorites rather than reflecting carbon emissions. Even companies that are trying to reduce emissions can still be invading people’s privacy, lobbying (bribing) for bad legislation and doing other evil things.

  It is reality. And unfortunately any “ethical” funds usually just focus on avoid oil companies or military companies but are just fine with AI companies, surveillance companies, eugenics companies and so on. Nobody agrees on what is ethical I’m afraid. One man’s unethical practice is another man’s unethical-to-avoid practice.
