In Germany, fossil and nuclear received billions in subsidies over decades too. And still will, even when decomissioned. See:

-There would be social subsidies for layed off fossil workers, as there is a massive discussion, while the solar / wind industry almost completely broke down, massive layoffs, after subsidies where cut and china took over (with subsidies there too). It is estimated that more jobs where lost there than actually working in coal (which is the primary discussion about). Forced moving of people / villages to make space for coal mining also holds a money-less cost to the people moved.

-Nuclear is a massive field of unknown money holes, as there is up of today still no final reasoning where to put the waste, and it has to be secured for 10k - 1000k years - of course opinions are different there - but there is no reasonable economic plan how to make sure the waste dump is financed for this time less then hundred years ago german society, and the soil to some extend was completely turned over - how include that into risk calculations for 10k+ years to come? So handling the waste will drop out of the private sector more earlier than later, and the state / people will keep it's finacial burden for generations. That is a massive subside, for sure.
