In case you hadn't heard, there was a major attack on Saudi oil, with a tremendous amount of long-term damage being done. We can expect gas prices to rise dramatically - and stay there.

How about we just consider it a great opportunity for all those who want to eliminate fossil fuels to start living their dream. Let them live without it for 5-10 years and see how it works out...

Yes, but since th US is the are the second largest exporter of oil, how about keeping it here and keep prices stable. The reason, money! If we have too much here the price would go down and some poor bunch of billionaires would not make as much.

Why?
United States is completely oil independent now thanks to the current administration and we are now a major exporter as well. Just makes the middle east that much more irrelevant to the world.

I guess you don't know much about grants for research in various research programs.
I guess the money spent on this camera stuff is bad.

These were drone attacks. Many attacks according to the News. The Iranians use of drones are pinpoint. Advantage, no loss of life by Iranian jet pilots. After this setback, the Saudi's need to develop an air defense missile system. Because, this can happen again. The Iranian Embassy hostages crisis was 40 years ago. 1979 under President Jimmy Carter. And Iran is still causing troubles in the Middle East. America doesn't need Saudi oil anymore. Prices should remain stable in America. Hopefully? Politics is also a factor in these incidents.

Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than any other system tried. Go to a store in the USA vs a store during the Soviet Union years if you don’t believe me. I have had Russians here for training buying bags of potatoes and shipping them home.

Money is an idea and medium of exchange. It is neither good nor evil. What it is used for can be good or evil...

"Love of money is the root of all evil"
