Wait a second, you’re saying burning diesel doesn’t create complex ethical/moral problems?
The murderous thugs who run Saudi Arabia thank you for your service.
Both things are true.
We don't get a whole lot of oil from the Saudi's, thankfully. We have a good domestic supply and most imports come from the US. Some does come from the Saudi's but not a huge amount. It's mostly imported to the east part of the country due to a lack of pipeline connecting the west to the east. Interestingly, pipelines for domestic or US oil use would even lower emissions since we wouldn't be importing it from so far away and from countries that really don't care about the environment at all. It could also open up potential for us to export oil across the Atlantic which would be great for jobs and our economy.
Unfortunately that will never happen since our leaders are spineless and the left has a tendency to start seething about things.
