The subsidies to the fossil fuel industries since 1950 has amounted to 70% of all tax subsidies. This info comes from a conservative business organization, the Nuclear Energy Institute who commissioned the study to show nuclear is really only 9% of tax subsidies. Additionally, the study also found all renewables, except large scale hydro, meaning large public dams(11% of subsidies), only accounted for another 9% of total tax subsidies. At 9%, with little pollution in comparison to fossil fuels, solar, wind, micro-hydro and geothermal are still attacked by the PR writers and right wing journalists as being unfairly subsidized. Just proves how ignorant fossil fuel supporters are of the financial truth.
