From WSJopinion: Washington can’t take the shale industry crisis lightly. The alternative is Putin and MBS in control of world energy markets and a deeper U.S. entanglement in the Middle East, writes wrmead.

As the turmoil in world energy markets continues, U.S. politicians of both parties need to remember that oil is not just another commodity.

Access to oil has been a preoccupation of military planners and world leaders since 1914, when Winston Churchill, as first lord of the admiralty, converted the British naval fleet from coal. Concerns about oil supplies, limited by an American embargo, contributed to Japan’s ruinous decision to attack the U.S. in 1941.

opinion wrmead no. oils use as an energy form needs to teeter off harshly. its 2020. not 1800. 2020. oil is and will always be absolute trash as a storage medium for energy. its better than coal...barely. what americans do need to support is energy that doesnt poison others.

opinion wrmead Nationalize, consolidate, compete. At least consolidate. There is no reason to act as a free market if you compete in an oligopolistic market....

opinion wrmead As long as they just want moral support, and not financial support, because them being welfare queens isn't very bootstrappy, y'know?

opinion wrmead Another 'opinion' piece by the opinion which stirs up fear & controversy. I dont believe this is the type of responsible reporting that the wsj is capable of. I encourage you to strive to have more restraint on these editorial pieces & hold yourself 2 a higher standard🙏

opinion wrmead So, the WSJ normally doesn't like socialism, except when it's a bailout for their fellow 1%'ers.

opinion wrmead Invest in renewables, oil is old dirty technology

opinion wrmead This is such bullshit. The alternative is to move away from fossil fuels.
