   It's the oil company's numbers vs the IMF's estimate of their "support".   
      
   Let's see if we can teach you to do a division:   
      
      
   In 2022, fossil fuel subsidies in the United States totaled $757 billion,   
   according to the International Monetary Fund.   
   -- EESI.org, 30 Jan 2024   
   [Around $6900 per US household pa].   
      
   During this period, the U.S. made an annual average revenue of 136.9   
   billion U.S. dollars through the production and marketing of fossil fuel   
   products.   
   -- statista.com, 29 Apr 2024   
      
      
   For the USA:   
   Support == 757 bn   
   Revenue == 137 bn   
      
   Divide: 757/137 = 5.5   
      
   See. Easy.

   World Oil Statistics   
   The world consumes 35,442,913,090 barrels of oil as of the year 2016,   
   equivalent to 97,103,871 barrels per day. \xb7 Global oil consumption per   
   capita is 5 barrels ...   
   Oil Reserves: 1,650,585,140,000   
   Oil Consumption: 35,442,913,090   
   Reserves/Consumption: 47        <== years left i.e. 2016+47 == 2063   
   -- Worldometer   
      
   Don't worry, we'll never run out of oil   
   Interesting Engineering, 9 Nov 2022   
   That being said, at current consumption, we have by some accounts an   
   estimated 47 years of oil left to be extracted. That equates to somewhere in   
   the region of 1.65 trillion barrels of proven oil reserves. Other sources up   
   this estimate a bit, but most agree we have around 50 years left, give or take.
