Hi Barry,   I'm researching  the subsidies on renewables as opposed to the subsidies on fossil fuels.

Do you have relevant articles?

I am preparing for an alp argument next weekend.

bye for now

Thanks for that Mark, I'll pass it on.

However I suspect that what she really wants to know is what subsidies are being given to the industry (as opposed to consumers). I've certainly heard that the coal and oil industries are massively subsidised, though I have no figures to back me up.
