Actually, we don't have to. At least, not anymore. Plenty of domestic resources available if we allow access to them. Enough for decades, maybe hundreds of years. Fracking is a technology advancement, too. that became pervasive on it's own merits, without subsidies and in the face of regulatory setbacks.
EVs have had the wind at their backs for quite a while now. How much more government intervention will they need to succeed? I predict they probably WILL become pervasive at some point, just quit ramming an unrealistic timetable for adoption down everyone's throats and let the few committed people who really WANT them work all the bugs out.
