It is far cheaper to conserve fuel than to find and develop new resources. Naturally this
was not popular with our petrocentric administrations over the last few decades.

This whole exposition is a good overall statement of the situation except for what is contained in these two sentences.

We have not had a "petrocentric administration" nor a petrocentric congress for several decades. The price of diesel would be less if we were: drilling more, taxing it less, and building new refineries. We eventually must do all three.

In the meantime it is only necessary to do as suggested, go a bit slower.
