“…the American right’s energy policy posture is not explainable by recourse to strictly material measures: it requires a psychological explanation…oil, gas and the lifestyle markers and forms of consumption that they enable – think cowboy hats, broad asphalt highways, and big trucks parked before a field of swinging pumpjacks – represent an ideal…
