34. I understand perfectly how the anaysis is done.

I also understand that the analysis - all analyses - are predicated on value based assumptions.

The field is called "normative economics" and it is a part of the discussion that Republicans aren't fond of having. They, like you, are too often dedicated to restricting the discussion to positive economics. Whether or not one wants to assign the EV as a sunk cost and compare the cash stream for the relevant fuel sources is a matter for an individual to determine. If they do so with an awareness of the overall picture they are not "wrong".
