You are quite right that we can do this another way.
We even know how to grow oil for less money than we are spending
to send troops to the middle east to "provide stability" which is a lie.
100,000 gal per acre algae oil grown in the desert
The corn deal is the child of the corn lobby and their 20 - 30 gallons
per acre is a complete joke compared to this.
We can do this now til other methods come along to get us off oil
complete like using algae to make hydrogen.
Biological Hydrogen production
Right now all our cars, ships, and such will take time to move over to
hydrogen fuel cell, but this is a clear path that is doable and can be
scaled up.
For our electrical we have Solar Thermal, Geothermal, Tidal, River
and Ocean Currents, Wind, and the Jet Stream.
1% of the jet stream could power the earth
The Ocean currents often have many times the flow of all the rivers
on the earth and shrouded turbines will not harm marine life.
Antarctic Circumpolar current has 125 times the flow of all rivers on Earth
That one current would take care of the southern hemispheres power
needs most likely.
We spend trillions to fight wars, and trillions on bailing out corrupt
corporations yet we spend a pittance to assure the long term future of
clean sustainable power by comparison.
We are making some progress, but we are need to refocus our efforts
and get out of the middle east wars that could be replaced with
algae oil grown in our desert.
Think if we kept all our money at home we spend on oil imports.
Think if we kept all our money at home we spend on 700 bases in
130+ countries.
It would start to turn this country around.
