The Somalis are thieves, and not too smart about it. They should take lessons from "green" energy promoters--who are used-car salesmen with better hair.
...[E]xplicit government subsidies in the form of tax expenditures for the entire energy sector totaled $64.1 billion. This was more than all other domestic industries. ...
The total fossil fuel-related tax expenditures came to $2.6 billion in revenue losses for the federal government in fiscal year 2025.
By comparison, the total amount of federal tax money subsidizing renewable energy, electric vehicles and energy-efficient equipment in fiscal year 2025 was $57.9 billion, which exceeds the total for fossil fuels over the entire fiscal year 1994-2025 period...
Before you cite "studies" done by ideologues who favor "green" energy which claim 'trillions of dollars in "subsidies" for fossil fuels'.....
...Estimates like those of the International Monetary Fund’s $7 trillion figure, Tice explained, rely on a “flawed methodology” utilizing interpolation — estimating unknown data points between known data points — and “implicit” subsidies. These are costs of health and environmental damages that activists claim come from the use of fossil fuels. Since the companies don’t pay for these costs, the activists argue, they are a de-facto subsidy.
Implicit subsidies are based on a concept in economics called externalities, which are unintended costs to third parties uninvolved with the use or production of a product. Tice points out that the externalities applied to calculations of oil and gas subsidies are highly subjective, and he argues the scope is so wide that it renders the numbers meaningless. ...
People in Wisconsin are paying THREE HUNDRED PERCENT of 2000's rates for electricity due to "investments" made in sun-catchers and windmills. Further, Wisconsin Electric is planning to fund a massive battery-backup facility, and they will put the cherry on top of their Wasted Money Parfait by paying for new transmission lines feeding "AI" centers.
The Somalis only stole $10 billion--or maybe $20 billion. They don't get it.
