Guaranteed loans like the boutique energy companies i.e. Solyndra?

What about cash grants courtesy of the taxpayer?

Or subsidies for hybrid and electric cars because they would be so expensive otherwise they wouldn't be able to sell them. Come to think of it, they still can't sell the Volt.

I suspect what you really call "subsidies" are tax deductions available to any business like depreciation or credits for taxes paid to other countries.

But, of course, you won't list these so-called "subsidies" because, like always, what you think you know is wrong.
