Government Should Stop Supporting Fossil Fuels

Link

To stop the use of fossil fuels and prevent pollution governments should stop subsidizing fossil fuels.  The government still spends a lot of money on fossil fuels yet wants to stop using them.  Governments all over the globe still spend around 300 billion dollars subsidizing the use of fossil fuels.  If governments spent the money on helping other countries get access to modern power sources, then fossil fuel use would be cut and so then would emissions.

Because of how our government is always pushing the use of better energy sources, then they should stop subsidizing fossil fuels.  This topic relates to class because when we try to save resources and recycle in class, here the government is out supporting fossil fuels and making our efforts seem pointless.  I personally think that supporting the use of fossil fuels is a bad thing because it promotes pollution.

    I also think that supporting the use of fossil fuels isn't the best thing especially since it promotes pollution. & Why would governments everwhere say that fossil fuels are bad and then go spend 300 billion dollars subsidizing the use of them. I don't see how that makes much sense so obviously people need to do something about it.
