As a libertarian... who has some faith in the law of supply and demand...

imagine, if we hadn't spent trillions artificially protecting low oil prices in the middle east, protecting the Saudis, over throwing Iran's democracy in 1953 then protecting the Shah etc, Detroit might have stopped making shit cares that got 5mpg... we wouldn't have lost 50% of our auto industry when Americans realized "Made in Japan" meant "Better than Detroit Shit"...

Now imagine if we'd taken all those trillions, and subsidized college level research into material science, applied physics, solar, super conducting, batteries. Then leased any patents to US companies, given 1/3 to the researchers, 1/3 to the colleges and 1/3 back into subsidizing more research.

We would OWN energy... hell we'd own the economy of the world, like we did in 1953...

You can't fuck with supply and demand.
