ummmm…if “we” want energy independence, why are we subsidizing fossil fuels in the Middle East and Africa?
The same IEA report also said fossil fuels attracted about $523 billion in government subsidies in 2011, up by 30% from 2010. That compares to $88 billion for renewable energy. The heaviest subsidies typically take place in parts of the Middle East and Africa, the study said.
