Renewable energy is only cheap because of subsidies

This is the pot calling the kettle black! The UK government subsidizes fossil fuels by about $16.4 billion a year, mostly in the form of tax-breaks (source: https://www.iisd.org/). There’s an additional hidden and much larger subsidy for fossil fuels in that the companies pay very little for the climate damage they cause, i.e. they make all the money but they don’t pay all the costs.
