Would love to see ISIS attack Iran's oil facilities. We need to bankrupt that country.

How about we just find a way to get off oil, which is what funds Iran and ISIS and Saudia Arabia and all the rest?

Great. Develop a technology that makes oil irrelevant and too costly. Then we will get off oil.

We're trying but we're hampered by people that prefer keeping the money flowing to the Islamic fundamentalists, such as the American oil industry, as well as yourself.

I have done nothing, zilch, zero to stop green energy innovation. When green energy is cheaper than fossil fuels, real change will occur. Not until then. And the oil industry can't stop that innovation either. It would be a crime.

You remain silent when industries related to oil receive massive subsidies for decades on end and then when an industry comes along that could displace and receives relatively small subsidies by comparison you complain up a storm.

OP, invest in green energy. We both agree that all subsidies should stop. Government developed subsidies for a reason. I don't like them because they distort the market. Take them all away.

Then you and your friends put your money where your mouth is and invest in green energy. That may help to hasten development and eventually replace oil.
