    People are complaining that this isn’t enough, but no one is celebrating that we’re fining them over a billion more now? A billion is a big number. I’m glad we’re doing more to fight these industries than we were before

      The fossil fuel industry in the U.S. is subsidized to the tune of $20 billion per year. I probably don’t have to point it out but 1 billion is just 5% of the free money they get from the government anyway.
