"So instead of subsidizing yesterday's energy, let's invest in tomorrow's." Actually instead of investing in the energy of tomorrow, we are just choosing a different one to subsidize. When a "new" energy source is viable it won't need to be propped up by the president. The coal power needed for most electricity isn't more efficient than gasoline and doesn't move us away from a reliance on fossil fuels.
Of course cars will look different down the road but that should occur because the technology has evolved not because we proclaim that it should be that way.
Ignoring oil does not make it go away it just makes us less prepared for the future. Oil is still the most viable option for our energy needs. That will most likely change at some point but it should happen naturally. Let's invest in today's energy. The hatred for oil helps no one.
