I understand that.
But the unfortunate thing is that any serious alternative energy policy MUST take cars, consumer use of natural gas, and fossil-fuel based fertilisers into account. Failing to do so (as is every government in the world with the possible exception of Sweden and Norway) is just a cop-out. By defining these items as "outside national energy policy", it's just a convenient way of avoiding a difficult (but absolutely VITAL) question.
