The claim that fossil fuels are subsidised here is just lies promoted by the left wing media .

Included in this link is a report which claims to show the amount that fossil fuels are subsidised around the world . But the amount for the UK is nil .
And a lot of the other claims are that the cost of air pollution & roads are a subsidy for for fossil fuels .

Over the last 10 years oil companies have paid about £60 billion in taxes to the government in the UK , & taxes on road fuels adds another £28 billion per .
So the idea that fossil fuels are subsidised here is just lies to try to cover up the fact that renewable energy gets £9 billion subsidy [ Official Government figures ] rising to about £13 or £14 billion over the next few years .
With about 20 million households here that means that on average every family is paying £450 a year on top of the actual electricity cost , [ rising to £600 or £700 per year ]

This is because wind & solar power can never produce enough electricity to cover their cost .

Link to report by Google,s scientists who say it will never work .

So , not only do we subsidise the cost of every new electric car that is sold in this country , we are having to pay increasing amounts to subsidise the electricity to power them .

I noticed that a couple of countries that stopped the subsidy on buying EVs have seen the sales drop to nothing .
