Once again, partisan politics is holding back progress. Annoys me as a centrist.

Democrats should avoid policies that promote central control and increases in national level regulations. They should specifically avoid subsidies and encourage private funding.

Republicans should ease off reactionary politics, and work to remove subsidies for entrenched oil/coal/hydrocarbon producers (but only where the cases where the oil is burned, one of the most ridiculous ways to use a resource).

Both sides should agree on removing subsidies for their respective "favorites" as a de-escalation and act of good faith.

All players should encourage nuclear within the above framework, as this is a potential win-win situation for all sides: reduces carbon emissions, promotes domestic industry, and many others.

You can’t both be against subsidies and say “encourage nuclear”.

Subsidies are the least corrupt way for the government to “encourage something”.

Your comment essentially boils down to “both Dems and Repubs are bad because they support something I don’t”.

subsidies > tariffs. seriously, injecting money is a pretty darn good shortcut, and you can really target money with agreements about its use. tariffs seem to be abstract theories that you hope work but often don't.
