I did go back to the original post, before I made my last post. Doing so confirmed my point.

re: If alternatives are going to be a good mass replacement (rather than just a supplement on the side) they are going to have to be cheap enough to maintain a lot of their market share even when oil is relatively cheap.

Do you support poisoned animal feed from China because it's cheaper?

As for the other point you tried to make

re: And if oil went down to where it was before it went up the 350 percent it wouldn't be dirt cheap. It wouldn't be at some level that would require massive government intervention.

$20 a barrel? That's cheap my friend, and would knock alternatives out of the water... as it has in the past.

"Massive" is your (strawman) word, not mine.

Massive is hardly a strawman. The types of interventions you and many others have proposed would indeed be massive.
