Thank you for making the article open-access. It's probably there somewhere, but which measure of fossil fuel subsidies was used to arrive at the number ($15+ in social, economic and environmental benefit for every dollar spent) in Figure 30?

The belief that policy (ie state spending) to invest in green energy is good value relies on Galiana & Green, yes? AFAICS, they don’t assess the historical performance of state R&D funding. “We don’t know if it works but the law of large numbers says yes if we spend a lot” is

I’m not exaggerating (p.42): “It is really impossible to predict success, much less date of success, in advance, although with a large number of technological initiatives underway, one might find that the law of large numbers comes in handy.” https://www.copenhagenconsensus.com/sites/default/files/ap_technology_galiana_green_v.6.0.pdf …
