It is a complete folly to believe that US Military spending would be reduced in the absence of petrol, in fact I fully expect the world to destabilize more as we move away from petrol which will necessitate the need for increased military expenditures Further outside of Nuclear, energy from renewables is not cheaper not even close, and they have the unfortunate side effect of being non-predictable and subject to nature which petrol and nuclear do not. Wind and Solar are the worst and most expensive at this but as we have seen recently extreme drought may impact Hydro as well. So we go back to the 3 Categories of person, I believe renewables need more time for innovation and are probably about 20+ years out needing not only more advancement on the production side but also needing some massive innovation on energy storage systems in order to effectively replace petrol, and artificially advancing that time table via government fiat will destabilize the world faster and worse than climate change, especially we do in the moronic way governments are today with things like Fertilizer bans, Gas Car bans, and other mandates that ban the use of some products / services In the same way I oppose the government prohibition of drugs, I oppose the government prohibiting farmers from using fertilizer, and I oppose the government prohibiting people from buying gas cars Government prohibition like that rarely work and often produce all kinds of unintended negative consequences
