Oil is worth more than the cost, that wouldn't be the case if we tried to import everything. A policy to import no matter what would be silly, but it isn't a policy that vaguely resembles a free market, where real people will buy domestically when it makes sense, and where domestic suppliers will try to fight for the market, both here, and overseas.
The alternatives are subsidized to a greater extent than the conventional energy is.
No way.
yes way, and again to a large extent
We are fighting a resource war.
Military spending is not an oil subsidy.
The nice thing about electric is that the infrastructure is entirely in place
Not to a sufficient extent, esp. not if you want the electricity to be produced from alternative sources.
And the infrastructure also includes the facilities for battery production, and recycling or disposal, more high voltage charge stations, and such, not just electrical production and distribution. |
