>renewables are at a point they can survive and grow by themselves without being artificially propped and prioritised.

Yet oil was at that phase over a hundred years ago.....and we still to this day prop up O&G companies with massive tax breaks and other benefits.

I'm all for cutting resources to Green Energy to make it more able to stand on its own economically. But we MUST do that for Oil as well, and thinking that we don't spend insane amounts of money securing oil (think wars) and developing its efficiency is just crazy. I'm all for spending the same amount $$-wise on Green energy as we have oil.

Oil was given plenty of time and money to develop into the industry it is. Green energy should be given the same.
