Over the last two years $8 billion for oil subsidies, $100 billion for green subsidies....Did we get our due?

9 million jobs in oil, ???? jobs in green energy.

Did we get a good deal?

Update:

I agree, Brutus.

Update 2:

The $700 billion has been over 10 years, not two.

    Ummm I think you should re-word your question.

    Each year as much as $100 billion is spent by governments and consumers around the world on green subsidies whereas right here in the US, we spend 4 billion each year to oil subsidies!

    The better question is with all this money we give to the oil industry.... what's going to happen when we reach peak oil? I bet then, we'll wish that money had been better spent on something else!

    Don't forget 600 billion dollars for 2 wars. 700 billion for tax cuts for the top 2%.

    I'm still trying to figure out what benefits have citizens like myself gained after 10 years and billions of dollars in Iraq.

    By the way, that senseless war has cost us much more than what you're crying about.

    All those subsidies and yet they still cannot compete. For the record, the oil industry should not be subsidized either.
