Did it ever occur to conservative voters to question their party's relationship to big oil.
Do Republican voters know that the Republicans crushed the first electric car movement decades ago because they were so heavily funded by big oil? We could easily have moved enough of our transportation and production off petroleum in order to avoid the coming economic hell, which will happen when Israel bombs Iran and gas goes to $6. Carter predicted this over 30 years ago. He begged the nation to form a moonshot around using less oil. He had a fully evolved strategy of alternative energy, light rail, shipping by rail and water, conservation, more energy efficient urbanization, etc... all the things that have allowed the Scandinavian countries to avoid the oil shock. Unfortunately, Reagan and the Right said Carter was insane and oil would never be a problem.
We are lying in a big oil grave dug by republicans.
Reagan was asked by the democrats to price the Middle East Pentagon costs into a gallon of gas so Americans could see the real cost of petroleum. Reagan worried that this would send the market a price signal to move investments toward alternative energy and conservation strategies.
Everything was done to hide the real cost of oil so Reagan and his party could protect the interests which were funding it.
