Another reason to get off the oil teat. It’s like legalizing drugs; take away their revenue stream and they’ll be back to selling rugs and pistachios within a generation. Can’t buy a lot of uranium with the profits from selling nuts and floor covering —no matter how many “going out of business” sales they have.

It can’t just be the US; the whole world has to wean itself, because as long as nations are oil-dependent, they are blackmailable by a threat to halt supplies.
