There are numerous reports listing oil, gas, coal and nuclear industry
subsidies. The public is not outraged or even mildly interested. It is
political suicide to try to remove energy subsidies. Republicans are looking
for budget cutbacks and are not going to get rid of subsidies to polluting
technologies. Do not volunteer to get rid of PV subsidies.
