An Oil-Driven Paradigm Shift?

I am actually amazed that we, The USA, did not more aggressively develop many different types of alternative energy programs the last time our reliance on ME oil caused havoc with the economy.
(Remember 1973 ?) The situation is much worse now than back in 1973 to 1983.
Additionally, when federal or state government do provide some sort of tax incentives to assist a fledgling start up idea or industry, either one of the two major political parties or those industries on the other side of the street run to their laywers and try to shut "change" down.
I'm sick of the partisan politics that run...or should I saw ruin ...this country !
