Which it clearly is, and by a very large amount.

It clearly isn't when you add all the economic cost of imported oil.

Oil is worth more than the cost

"The cost" on not importing oil is a frozen, depression economy where we couldn't move goods or services. So yes at $1000 a barrel "oil is worth more than the cost".

We are fighting a resource war.

Military spending is not an oil subsidy.


Currently it is.

Not to a sufficient extent, esp. not if you want the electricity to be produced from alternative sources.

"Alternatives" are a different discussion. But as I said we need a slight increase in production at the back end. Have you noticed the utilities getting behind electric vehicles?
