User argues for rational energy policy over emotional debate about fossil fuel subsidies
The same user calls for rational discussion of tax spending priorities, arguing that fossil fuel subsidies are temporary and wasteful compared to investments in energy independence that genuinely serve national interests.
“Rather than ad hoc fossil fuel subsidies that burn away, we need rational discussion—without emotion—about how to use taxes in ways that truly serve national interests.”

年間3兆円を電化と自給率向上に振り向けたら、一体どれだけの化石燃料に伴う外貨の流出を食い止められるのだろう。 場当たりで燃えて消える化石燃料への補助金ではなく、感情論抜きに、しっかり国益につながる税金の使い方を議論して欲しい。
