Government energy R&D (still) mainly to fission

The International Energy Agency recently prublished a report on government R&D spending on renewable energy. One graph shows total government R&D spending on energy with a division over different types of energy. Some striking facts: by far the largest share (about 30%) still goes to nuclear fission ! only about 10% goes to renewables, less than to fossils. Since research into fossils is of course heavily supported by private R&D funds it seems to me that governments are spending our tax euros in the wrong place !
