Remaining dependent on fossil fuels ties us to interests that are fundamentally counter to our values and to the interests of our allies.
We should be doubling and trippling down on developing easy to build out green energy infrastructure and deploying it rapidly to replace fossil infrastructure where possible to be placed in emergency only maintenance for a freak situation where it might be needed to keep the lights on until proper energy infrastructure can be turned back on.
Oil is the poison in the veins of the democratic world and taking the antidote is a necessary step to solidify the ability of the democratic world to keep a strong hand against the authoritarians and their fossil monopolies.
