Annual US taxpayer funding for NPR/PBS via CPB is ~$535M (FY2025, pre-cuts).

Fossil fuel subsidies: ~$20B explicit (tax breaks/direct support), per OCI/IMF estimates; up to $757B including externalities.

Scale: If NPR/PBS = X apple (~$1), fossils = XXXXXX apples (a truckload).

Better use? Public media educates/informs; fossil subsidies distort markets, boost pollution. End them to fund clean energy.
