@ScientistRebellion Agreed. Sadly, geopolitics complicates this plan.. The US has huge shale/fracking capacity, putting us 3rd in reserves behind the Saudi Peninsula and Russia. We lead in LNG exports.
Russia invades it neighbors regularly over the centuries and has eyes on the Baltic (NATO) states. It has taken years for Europe to ween itself from Russian LNG.
The Saudis/OPEC threatened US dominance in the 1970’s. They also practice low-key slavery. Qatar, Kuwaití, UAE etc are little better. They are monarchies opposed to basic human rights.
We absolutely need to decarbonize. It’s existential. But Putin and tactical nuclear exchange is an immediate, existential threat.
And I can’t support monarchies that behead LGBTQ folks, subjugate women, etc.
Europe is leading on this difficult question. We ought to examine their approach
