text: I see you've tried to change the topic to "rural communities disregard the environment...".  Another time perhaps.
  
  So now, back to those subsidies.  You mention Port of Anchorage fuel facilities but were so careful to spell out where funding does NOT come from - cute.  Are you a lawyer?  Since the port is a public entity, the entire facility, fuel farm, land and all, is one big public subsidy.  That modernization project - massive pig at the public funding trough to the tune of hundreds of millions (source:  PofA website). 
  
  Care to reveal your statistics sources?  I'm fairly certain that you're only talking about direct government subsidies, ignoring tax write-offs, etc.  And since you write spill pans, some government agency had to review that - another subsidy.  Every plan & permit gets gov review at a cost (subsidy).
  
  Solar subsidies are one-time capital expense.  Fossil are the gift that keeps on giving.
