Engaging Anti-Nukes on Subsidies

Not to give too much press to any one blog over another, but Jeff at Sustainablog is enjoying his summer vacation learning about nuclear issues. And in his latest post, he's asking for input on a Public Citizen co-sponsored document lambasting nuclear subsidies, although he characterized it a little more charitably than I do.

One source she pointed out that I've found useful is Earth Track, a site devoted to "[developing] comprehensive and accurate information on government interventions in energy markets." That sounds innocuous enough, but I'm sure that Earth Track's position on subsidies to Big Energy is similar to my own (that is, they're suspicious of them).

I'll confess I took the easy road by comparing nuclear tax credits and wind tax credits. But like Jeff, I'd like to learn from more of you - so go add your own (polite, cordial) two-cents worth! Here's the document he's referencing, cosponsored by Friends of the Earth, Public Citizen, Earth Track, U.S. PIRG, and Taxpayers for Common Sense Action.
