- rectang 3y agoThe sharp ramp up of US oil production happened under the "all of the above" energy policy of Obama, who famously opposed that burning and bombing. Energy independence is vastly preferable to waging war, and may be worth making some environmental tradeoffs for — even if we would like to see cleaner alternatives to fracking in the long run.
- ClumsyPilot 3y ago> Energy independence is vastly preferable to waging war, and may be worth making some environmental tradeoffs Environmental collapse will lead to wars, so this statement is self-contradicting. In fact the sooner we run out of oil, the better - high oil prices mean that any alternative will get huge investment. France built out nuclear due to an oil price shock.
