I’m torn on this one. We need independence from foreign oil sources, and our domestic sources of hydrocarbons have difficulties (e.g. burgess shale = expensive and difficult to frac, the reserve is probably recoverable BUT high production rates will probably never be achieved [that only means the resource will last our children longer, no bad thing]. deep water oil = extremely expensive, many years from discovery to production, etc.)
Wind power I don’t believe in, but solar-thermal (NOT photovaltaic) & geothermal are economic now, I’ve read, but have difficulties with investment and government red tape. I think these industries really need some tax breaks rather than subsidies, that is the way to stimulate private enterprise.
