1 - Only because of subsidies for "clean" energy. Not true in most areas of the world now. Subsidies are only needed in a few places of the world today. 2 - Also only because oil is more efficient in terms of effort needed to get energy. More jobs to produce the same amount of energy (or less in the case of "clean energy" jobs") is a cost not a benefit. Electricity derived from oil is much more expensive than PV or wind today. Only NG is competitive and even that will not be able to keep up with cost declines with renewables. A number of my neighbors are generating electricity for a fraction of of the cost of FF's. No subsidies required. With none of the delivery problems! And best of all, no pollution.
