I would like to reply to the three very thoughtful comments of 2GreenEnergy reader James Gover, who writes: 1) We can talk about the oil subsidies and toss numbers around, but I have yet to see defensible, detailed comparisons of the magnitude of subsidies to various energy sources. If s...
New energy vehicles are regarded as an important measure for improving air quality, reducing oil dependence, fostering emerging industries, and promoting high-quality development. Since 2009, the Chinese government has been committed to promoting new energy vehicles through various policy measures, such ...
Effects of Subsidies on Demand On the consumer side, government subsidies can also help potential consumers afford goods or services, usually through tax credits. A great example of this can be found in the transition to more renewable sources of energy. With still nascent models of green economi...
it summarized the flawed “energy efficiency” physics behind this Biden administration plan that has since been regurgitated in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act a few months later. This article
On the other side of the Atlantic, a recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) study showed that the US, the world's largest historic greenhouse gas emitter, givesten times more to fossil fuel subsidies than it does to education. Without such subsidies half of future oil production in the US...

He suggests that, given the grave threat posed by “global warming,” it should be “transformed as soon as possible from a fossil fuel (oil, coal)-centered economy to a solar, hydrogen energy-based economy” [3]. The process of decarbonizing the vehicle sector plays a significant role ...

, using crude oil for electricity generation in power plants, charging batteries, and then using these batteries to power vehicles is more energy-efficient than refining it into gasoline and then using a gasoline engine to power a car. This makes it more advantageous in terms of energy ...
