I don’t know that it is necessarily in line with foreign policy goals on balance. Yes it is serving the US well in the short term in our dealing with said countries. However, the argument has been made that runaway climate change will have very bad economic and security implications for the US. We’re once again borrowing from the future with the hopes that 1) we can find a fix and 2) it’ll be worse for “them” than it will be for us.
- murph-almighty 8y agoThis is also true! I was thinking on a very short term scale. We could also invest in green energy to the point where the means of capture and storage are isolated to our borders, though I'm doubtful that we can do the same for the manufacture of the products that get us there (batteries, solar panels).
