From the first paragraph:
"In 2022, fossil fuel subsidies in the United States totaled $757 billion, according to the International Monetary Fund. This includes $3 billion in explicit subsidies and $754 billion in implicit subsidies, which are costs like negative health impacts and environmental degradation that are borne by society at large rather than producers (i.e., negative externalities)"
So, an "implicite subsidy" isn't a subsidy at all. Saying such as a lie. Explicitly.
