And as I said, I don't believe for a minute that the brits are subsidizing gas.

Now you know for sure:

, the UK provides significant support to the gas and oil industry through tax breaks and grants, estimated at billions annually, alongside direct consumer support during energy crises, though the government has claimed it doesn't subsidize fossil fuels in the traditional price-gap sense. This support includes substantial tax relief for exploration, funding for decommissioning, and a large energy price cap for households and businesses, totaling tens of billions, sparking debate over climate goals and public spending.
