Yes let's invest more in fossil fuels putting us further at the whims of dictators, as opposed to sustainable energy right here at home. Dare I say even employing some lazy, unskilled Brits in the process. Future PM Liz would be proud.

Our economy being destroyed (compared to what exactly? Now?) would be a good laugh tho. It'd at least prompt the conversation of how we got here and an admission that the free markets don't solve problems despite the myths. They profiteer from them and get taxpayer bailouts when it goes wrong.
