The $50 million at issue, cut from U.S. fusion research, is a tiny amount compared to the estimated $4 to $41 billion in U.S. federal subsidies to the oil and gas industries.
(At the end of March, Senate Republicans successfully voted to keep subsidies.)
Unelected corporate government is the appropriate term here!
