It'd be a curious experiment. How about defense? The sheer amount of R&D & procurement programs boil down to subsidies as well. Quick search estimates well over $100B a year for what amounts to defense subsidies which is more than ag, fossil fuels and renewables combined.
Subsidies are obviously complex and arguably useful in stabilizing the economy along with promoting progress. I'm probably not in the nuke'm all camp but smart reductions might not be the worst thing.

You do know part of the "China is advancing in infrastructure and tech" part is also investing in renewable energy right? Idk man, energy independence sounds pretty important to me in the nationals security list.

is eviscerating our farming capacity and concentrating what’s left in the hands of agribusiness conglomerates a good national security move? one could argue that it leaves you dependent on food imports
