For many decades, developed and developing countries alike have subsidized fossil fuels as a means of ensuring that these sources of energy - central to economic development over the past century - can remain relatively inexpensive. Yet, as it has become clear that fossil fuels will continue to deplete over the next decades and century, that renewable energy sources of different kinds will become the replacement fuel of choice, and as the desire for cleaner sources of fuel has grown with concerns over climate change, many have pressed to end or phase out fossil fuel subsidies. It is becoming increasingly common for high profile national and international leaders to call for ending fossil fuel subsidies, and to introduce legislation to this effect. What are your views on phasing out fossil fuel subsidies?
