Your again trying to intentionally deceive people. This classic Heritage Foundation argument is exactly what those "think tanks" are paid to produce; in using today's output (which is based on 50 years of nuclear getting 96% of noncarbon subsidy support) and only comparing it to the current distribution of subsidies, it is making a false argument.
It is (almost)* like an obese person that is put on a strict diet on Tuesday saying on Wednesday, "That thin person eats more than I do".
I say "almost because nuclear is STILL getting the lions share of subsidies today even though 50 years of such support has not enabled them to stand on their own.
