Creating a large number of jobs across different regions of the country and being responsible for the strength of the petrodollar are two highly consequential factors that need to be mentioned when explaining why the government is propping up fossil fuels. Our government is plenty corrupt, no need to make it sound worse than it is.

Not to mention that energy independence is a good thing when you remember the oil shocks of the past.

Tech independence is just as critical in the modern world. Look at China’s rush for full-stack independence.
