it would cost about $2T to generate the energy equivalent of all our imported oil.

Oh come now. What a straw man.

Family trades in the Escalade that they bought for 90K utilizing the Bush tax credits (that resulted in this vehicle as practically FREE), and buys a Tesla.

Is that vehicle utilizing the exact same amt of energy in the escalade vs the tesla?

Also much of the home heating oil can be replaced with solar panels. Not all but most. the 20% efficiency is irrelevant.
