Amen, the silver lining I cling to is it will accelerate adoption of renewables as the geopolitical difficulties with the Fossil Fuel makes it clear renewables win on every measure.
@PeterF @MichaelEMann @LiveScience Not only that. Iran may well knock out fossil-fuel infrastructure in the US too, now that the gang in charge has effectively disabled US counter-intelligence. Those refineries take decades to re-build - unlike wind and solar farms with grid storage.
