Sun and wind subsidies are paid out in places like EU countries, especially Germany, where they distort the market. Gasoline on the other hand is taxed highly.
Oil, coal and gas get subsidies in places like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran or Malaysia, where they distort the market.
That Venezuela distorts its markets in some way does not really make it a good idea to distort the market in Germany (or USA) in another way.
