What energy source is unsubsidized? It's definitely not fossil fuels.

    For the US: https://www.eia.gov/analysis/requests/subsidy/ https://www.eia.gov/analysis/requests/subsidy/ The numbers are a bit out of date. All I could find other than that is a reference to a study in 2015 on Wikipedia, but it links to a page that's missing the data the reference was pointing to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_subsidies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_subsidies

      It's a long and complicated document, but from a quick scan it seems that most of the subsidies listed are directed towards either renewable energies and alternative fuels (ethanol, alcohol) or the distribution grid, so proportionally equal for all sources.
