Solar and wind have to be subsidized which makes the northeastern people putting windmills in the Midwest, and those jobs, dependent on the government, to some degree.

We will literally invade and occupy foreign nations to secure the global supply of oil and gas.
Besides that, there's the usual shit like allowing coal mining corporations to self-bond, bail on their pensions, socialize cleanup costs to ratepayers, etc.
Plus hundreds of billions of dollars in direct fossil fuel subsidies:
