Is this something free market proponents accept, and by accepting this reality, advocate?
Logic flaw. Accepting something does not imply advocating it. If you think it does, then you would be conceding the Christian Right's argument against promoting birth control in junior high and high school.
the US would be considerably behind the curve in development of next-generation vehicles.
So what? Since there are other alternatives that we can buy, why does it matter if "the U.S." has one? If the world economy was a free market, we wouldn't care where something was produced (and we shouldn't).
My question for the free market advocates out there is that, given the global market we're in where other countries are subsidizing their industries...
So, you're asking why we want a free market for everyone in the future if others don't have a free market now. That's a pretty disingenuous question to ask.
