"Try as I might"
Just Google "...BOAB<br />"Try as I might"<br />Just Google "Australian fossil fuel subsidies".<br />It turns up all sorts of interesting stuff - <br />"Taxpayers spend about 11 times more encouraging the use of fossil fuels than on climate change programs - and the sum is growing.<br />Fossil fuel incentives and subsidies will cost about $12.2 billion this financial year, compared with $1.1 billion spent on programs designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions and boost clean energy research."<br />Source: http://www.smh.com.au/environment/billions-spent-on-fossil-fuel-incentives-20110228-1bbsn.html#ixzz1ySXTPS6P<br />Or if you want peer-reviewed research do the same search on Google Scholar.<br />This is instructive - http://sydneypeakoil.com/downloads/CR_2003_paper.pdf<br />I've been paying for this through my tax dollar for over 40 years.
