Dude, I don't know what decade your information is from but you need to update it. Electric cars cost as much without a subsidy as any other mid range vehicle and then you get even more cost savings from using electricity over gas. WA state has dirt cheap electricity, cheapest in the country without subsidies and it is almost entirely green. All that hydro power and wind power make up almost all of the generation here in washington. Next thing, green energy is 100 percent energy independent. You do not import electricity. It is generated locally. A green economy is permanent energy independence and in the long term will bring manufacturing back to this country. We have higher wages than other countries, the best way to offset that is to have an abundance of cheap electricity. That means phasing out coal and eventually phasing out natural gas for power generation. Another thing to consider, oil is going to get very cheap by the end of this decade. Countries are going to be rapidly electrifying their auto sectors. Demand for oil will be on a sharp downward trajectory once that happens. With demand so low it will be possible for countries with rich oil reserves that are cheap to access to price other countries out of the market. We got a small taste of that last year. Oil was literally worse than worthless for a few days last year. That will be the new norm by the end of the decade. The US oil industry is done by 2030. Our production is too expensive to be worthwhile with limited demand. OPEC will dominate the US oil market once the rest of the world moves on even if the US were to take aggressive action to save US oil jobs. We either transition now or we are going to find ourselves with an economy so bad it will make the great depression look like a golden age by comparison.
