If green energy is less profitable than fossil fuels, the government can cap production, increase taxes, rework trade deals, add regulations, etc. to limit the profitability of fossil fuels.

Pretty sure all we have to do is cut their subsidies..

Or stop building new pipelines for them...

Or stop opening more federal land up to drilling leases...

We dont need to do things to make fossil fuels less peofitable, we just have to stop all the shit we keep doing to make it more profitable.

Yes, i meant to include s line about just ending all the current subsidies and infrastructure support already given for fossil fuels
