    I think it may be part of the reason for Trump, but Iran’s oil reserves and military control over the straight of Hormuz is probably an even bigger reason. US clearly wants to control as much of oil supply as it can to keep the dominance it has over the rest of the world.

    Everyone should be building renewables and nuclear like crazy right now, because the alternative is slavery to the empire.

        Literally anything is better than coal, oil and gas. Renewables are the cheap option to produce energy when possible, and nuclear is insurance for base load in case we never quite figure out grid storage at scale.
