I just posted this in response to another idiot, but it works here too:
I’m not sure that’s true.
The supply chain for food is heavily dependent on diesel. All machinery on farms is diesel, and the trucks that move the food to silos then mills then factories and then shops are all diesel.
Presently there’s no real substitute for that machinery. Sure it might be technically possible to construct an electric tractor or truck but it’s not economically viable at this time.
The subsidies don’t really serve to make fossil fuels continue to be viable, it’s more like a measure to avoid sudden inflation due to fluctuations in the price of diesel.
Actually there is…
Like i said before there are many high quality electric tractors. I have even seen so many farmers even convert their old tractors to electric in response to John Deere’s shitty policies.

Farm equipment doesn’t care what is is run on.
Even if that were true they’re not presently in common use. Agriculture presently runs on diesel.
