Of course, however, a tax cut is not a subsidy. Economic concepts can very easily be wrongly conflated with each other or misreported by the press or politicians. There's an obvious qualitative difference between a government subsidy (the act of taking property from some to give to others) and a tax break (the government merely stealing less).

Given the extreme shortsightedness of Europe's leaders in trying to tackle their energy needs, I have little doubt that this act will come back to bite all of us in some way.
