Original sentence: , public research money for nuclear fission declined from 2179 to 35 million dollars between 1980 to 2000.Energy research and development (R&D) for nuclear power has and continues to receive much larger state subsidies than R&D for renewable energy or fossil fuels.Fossil fuels receive large indirect subsidies since they do not have to pay for their pollution and because the cost of using the military to stabilize world oil markets is not calculated in the price of a barrel of oil.However, today most of this takes places in Japan and France: in most other nations renewable R&D get more money.In the U.In the US the nuclear industry has limited liability for accidents (9.5 billion dollars as of 2004) under the Price-Anderson Act - although Congress could later assess more.Renewables receive balancing subsidies as a means of leveling the playing field somewhat in the form of production credits, quotas, tax breaks, and research grants.Renewables, because they are safe, do not require an Indemnity Subsidy, because they do not pollute, they do not require pollution subsidies, and because they are plentiful in every country, they do not encourage global conflict.The DOE calls this a "Subsidy for Investors"
