We should absolutely be investing in numerous sources of energy outside of oil. A diverse economy is a competitive and efficient one, and the energy market is no exception. I'm not against investment in alternative energy, I just don't think we should be obstructing oil production and transportation in misguided environmental crusades.

The question is, should the government do it. I say no, because they muck it up. See: Solyndra.
