You tell us, slick.
United States Spend Ten Times More On Fossil Fuel Subsidies Than Education
The study includes the negative externalities caused by fossil fuels that society has to pay for, not reflected in their actual costs. In addition to direct transfers of government money to fossil fuel companies, this includes the indirect costs of pollution, such as healthcare costs and climate change adaptation. By including these numbers, the true cost of fossil fuel use to society is reflected.
Hilarious!!
If you ever stumble across a list of those "direct transfers", please, please post it.
I love it when idiots who don't understand accounting (or economics) claim that deducting a typical business expense is a "subsidy".
You should also count the free access to the resources on federal lands as well.
Free access? LOL!
Yeah. Pretty much.

And how does that compare to royalties on private lands?
