Well, no, I don't/didn't understand that at all.

Good oatmeal gruel tastes pretty good!  Best of all is CORNmeal gruel...

I don't expect the oil industry to try too hard to discover alternative 
sources of energy.  And don't forget that you said "...nobody has found 
this new energy technology despite decades of searching."  Maybe more 
effort is needed?  What about strong govenrment incentives that make 
presently marginal technology viable, so that more people will be able to 
engage in research with a hope of keeping their heads above water?

Unfortunately, the current President equates to "the oil industry" AFAIK.

No, I honestly trtanslated your several posts to mean "I need gasolene, so 
go out and get me some, and stop wasting resources looking for 
alternatives!"
