If we could just force a public discussion of why a company, any company, that is making money hand-over-fist needs ANY government susidy, that would be useful.
But then especially one that the government itself has committed to phasing out because its actions are injuring humanity's chance to survive...
(At minimum, any such subsidy should be tied to specific goals of reduced net revenue due specifically to diminished market share against non-carbon-based renewables.)
Ah, to hear those arguments aloud...

#SmokeAndMirrors by #Granholm and #DOE: Direct air capture increases carbon dioxide emissions and air pollution.
$1.2B is a #subsidy for #AcceleratingKeelingCurve so the #fossilfuel industry can continue creating #climaterefugees with fires floods and extreme heat and stoke the far right to #FoamAtTheMouth.

...and just the amount of energy per passenger for a #plane is incredibly much more than for a #train (about 4 times).
Of course, not all routes can be done by train, but within #Europe (nearly) all should. And the whole point of this @greenpeace report is to show that even when there's a direct high-speed train, the #tax and #subsidy policies make it viable and even competitive to #fly on the same route.

@enobacon Good point. Through that lens, any money spent on improving the safety of a road for other road users (incl. separated bike lanes) can be viewed as a #subsidy to cars. This is what people mean when they say '#bike lanes are car #infrastructure'.
The only reason these safety features are needed is because cars need to be accommodated in that space, and cars are murder machines.
(Of course, the features aren't strictly 'needed' if you're sufficiently much of a sadist, but I think the point stands.)
This is incidentally why I'm a little critical of the praise the #Netherlands receive for their bike infrastructure. It's better in so much as it's doing the bare minimum to accommodate other modes of transportation alongside cars. But the Netherlands are still a car paradise all the same.

If we can agree that the #GreenTransition is a thing, then one way of driving economic success is develop a productive capacity in #green #technology.
We already know China is racing ahead & the US has put in place a #subsidy regime to make it an attractive location for green investment(s).
The EU, is successfully playing the global market, but what about (so-called) Global Britain - here #manufacturers & #energy firms are wanring the #Tories not to abandon their 'green strategy'!
Hopeless!

"Today, German Chancellor #OlafScholz is expected to (...) announce a €9.9 billion #subsidy for the #microprocessor company, so that it sets up a plant in the German town of #Magdeburg."
"To put it bluntly, every German household will contribute €240 to do something that’s traditionally a core task of private enterprise — investing in new factories to meet demand."

Our fight for #ClimateChange will not be served by a transatlantic #subsidy race. Instead we must reinforce our transatlantic #SupplyChains. 🇺🇸 & 🇪🇺 depend on one another in this #digital & #green transition.
