Obama The Iran Deal We Should Have Done

Another consequence of the Iran giveaway is that Iran will start pumping oil like there's no tomorrow and drive the price of oil down even further. Personally, I wouldn't mind paying $1 a gallon but its terrible for our economy and for those who depend on the oil industry for their livelihoods.

 

we should be trying to find ways to cut back on oil anyway. Big oil companies should at least start to transition a percentage of their business to other forms of cleaner energy. I'm not saying ditch oil entirely but these corporations should be looking to transition some of their business to wind, solar, and geothermal.

 

Big oil companies probably own the rights to a lot of alternative energy technology that they are keeping a lid on as long as there is enough oil in the ground for the foreseeable future.

 

They probably have a team whose sole purpose is to thwart, lobby against or some other way to discourage it's use

 

You're probably right.

 

They probably just buy it and bury it.

 

Some maybe, but forward thinking companies like Shell are heavily invested in alternative fuels and energy - bio, natural gas, and wind. I have a relative that worked on some of the engineering.

@Tiger Exile interesting, I figured they were greedy but in essence I guess they really are lol

 

So I just listened to one of Colin Powell's former administration members or colleague but he is a U.S. Colonel, Lawrence Wilkerson talk about how we have to make this deal because if we don't the only other option is war. And that option can stay on the table even if we do this deal. This is the only deal we will get.
