More oil being pumped up is the last thing the planet needs right now.
Agreed.
My new argument is that American solar takes power away from Iran. How? It frees the US from a commodity that Iran can manipulate. How could a right-winger argue against that?
Oh right, because nothing they believe is consistent. Oh well I’ll try anyway.
We tried the ‘end reliance on foreign oil’ tactic before, they responded by pushing things like compressed natural gas, tar sands pipelines, and the off-shore drilling that they are still on about. It’s the whole “it’s very hard to get a man to stop believing something his paycheck relies on him believing” quote that I am butchering but still.
But it’s exactly what the richest people on the planet need right now.
The person who came up with that headline must’ve been so happy.
