I may have missed 90% of what you said because I'm not so well versed in USA political history, but do you mean something like:
- distributed and varied sources of energy means the system is robust, has gradual decline in the case of loss of supply, and distributes political control of the energy over a lot of smaller actors with differign agendas
vs
- Frank Herbert, Dune (I think), (vague paraphrase) "He who controls the spice controls the universe",
Dune Messiah, 1969, "The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it"
s/spice/oil/
Scary stuff, Dana. Some people like concentration of power, as long as they can control it at least.
