Combine this with the fact that Russia, Saudis and others manipulate the price of oil for political and personal gains, I’d much rather see our money going to Canada. Yes, we need to get off carbon burning fuels, but it won’t ever happen if we let our politics and financial power fall to the hands of OPEC.

If someone is going to profit from the apocalypse, it had better be us.

No, it’s about who you believe will do the right thing in the long run. You think OPEC countries will ever give up oil willingly? Oil is the supermajority of their economies with no real way to pivot to something as large to replace it. If left up to them, they’ll never shut the wells off.
