The cost has been WAY less than our oil wars in the ME.

Both false and irrelevant.

Its not just about tax money. Taxes on fossil fuels represent a cost to someone other than the government, there total cost has exceeded. Distortions caused by regulatory requirements, subsidies, and taxes are real costs as well.

Also spending more on alternatives would have been unlikely to have prevented the wars.
