Our fossil fuel consumption is also at an all time record high, despite EV growing in popularity. It's mostly because a lot of ordinary cars are replaced by SUVs that eat a lot more fuel.
78 million is peanuts to the total budget. I don't mind that money going to parties so that it's more resistant to bribery/lobbying.
What I don't like is that the money is being used to invest in non-political activities such as real estate and essentially compete with the private market with government money to get richer. Ironically it's the most right wing parties doing that. So much for free market.
