We actually don't get more energy for less money that way, even though I understand that is the common perception. The reality is that we spend trillions in securing our energy supply and fighting oil related wars, and fending off the rise of hostile dictatorships funded by our oil dollars. When you start to add that up as a cost of having an oil based economy, you start to realize that oil is much more costly than conventional wisdom would dictate.
