First of all, the oil subsidies probably arent subsidies, they are probably tax

Breaks. Either way, if you have any understanding of the modern economy at all, it is patently obvious why lessening the cost of oil is better.

Neither of those sentences explains anything, but the effort was pretty good.

Tax breaks (finite program) are not close to subsidies (theoretically infinite)

Actually, Tom explained it very well.
Subsidies are not taxes. Subsidies are moneys provided by an entity (in the case of The Netherlands, government money via taxation of Dutch citizens) to make some product or service artificially cheap.
Tax breaks are allowances which the government grants to an entity in which the seizure of funds (I.e. taxes) is less than that which is applied to another entity.
Tax breaks for an entity are limited to the total amount of taxes which the government would otherwise extract from the entity.
Thus, tax breaks are finite.
Subsidies, on the other hand, are essentially unlimited, with the only limit being the amount of money that the government has + the amount of money that a government can borrow to keep the subsidized entity viable.

The Swedish climate activist once decried nuclear energy as being “extremely dangerous, expensive, and time-consuming.” Her views seem to have changed in tandem with recent trends in public opinion as she recently argued that Germany shutting down its nuclear plants was a “mistake.” Thunberg, alongside other climate ...Apr 3, 2023

As a country they get half of their energy from renewable energy. The issue is probably very nuanced. They aren't scrapping renewble energy.
