So you would rather us directly fund oppressionist governments around the world, just so you can feel better for the 50 people living in the town next door to the oil fields? Ok.
- xapata 10y agoPerhaps we could invest in other energy sources?
- BuckRogers 10y agoEvery single time. Yes. Nothing will crush the source of power for oppressive governments faster than if we conserve our resources and drain theirs. But you fail to mention that we have an oppressive government gearing up in the US too. So perhaps it's best if they help us drain ours.
- smsm42 10y agoHow draining Saudi Arabia resources have worked so far?
- beedogs 10y agoNot bad, considering they're having to pump seawater down their wells just to get any oil back up. They're running out and they'll be broke within a decade.
- reddytowns 10y agoBy giving them, money?
- Stanish 10y agoOur government already does support oppressive oil regimes (the saudis). You see those other governments as substantially worse because the only thing you read is american propaganda.
