Of course they have been paying for studies, Why wouldn't they? They're part of the most innovative, important and largest industry that's ever existed they pay for all sort of studies. Not looking at any positives of the fossil fuel industry are comparing it to tobacco is just terrible thinking and lol.

Cool story bro, I am sure executives from every industry have studies their tactics, what's your point other than trying to be decitful and painting the fossil fuel industry the same as the tobacco industry. It's just nonsense.

Seems like a reliable source, might want to look further into this, focus on the terms direct and indirect and how they were measured across all industries.

Are you sure that's the number you want to randomly throw out? These stats are tracked and fossil fuel are much higher, directly and indirectly.

Because of mandates and subsidies. They still are not even close to as reliable and cost effective and never will be. The US's electricity system is broken and it's because of the solar/wind mandates.

Wind and Solar will never replace coal. Nuclear can, but unless the environmentalist completely change their views on Hydro and Nuclear it will never happen. Nuclear are actively being attacked and shut down by these groups and governments.

Let's just pretend your silly numbers mean something. What's very scary about it? Humans have never been safer from climate than we are today thanks to fossil fuels.
