Why do they have to know exactly when OCS oil will hit the market but they don't need to know when the alternative energy research will produce fruit?

Republicans are claiming that OCS drilling will provide nearly immediate relief from high oil prices......as in "drilling our way out of the oil crisis". No one is making a similar claim with alternative energy.

We know how to produce oil. We don't know how to produce electric cars that will go 400 miles on a charge and can be recharged in minutes. When are we going to get that?

Exactly. Those things are in the developmental stage. There is no immediate relief from high oil prices. It will take at least ten years to transition away from our addiction to oil.

Do you think no money s/b invested in electric vehicles unless we get a guarantee on when the payoff will come?

Straw man.
