It will lead to use of more expensive energy than otherwise. Nothing efficient about that.

There is if the total cost, not the cost per watt/gallon, goes and stays down.

That's not a certainty. It will lead to more use of natural gas, which we have plenty of, and nuclear which drives down costs over the long run. In addition, solar and wind will be layered in and those costs are already almost cost competitive.

You guys are simply not taking into account cost improvements through technology improvements and economies of scale. It's a really basic, but critical flaw in your thinking.
