The US is not looking for energy dominance, they’re looking to maximize revenue for O&G companies. There’s a heck of a difference. For energy dominance, the last thing you want to do is scrap a $1B offshore wind project as they just did.
For energy dominance, the first thing to do is to maximize renewables. I don’t need to read the article, the title means nothing but to flood both countries with wind turbines and solar panels so that locals don’t have to burn their own fuel.
In supporting continued war on GCC, energy dominance is extorting people to continue relying on oil/NG, including our own citizens, for glory of hypno Exxon. You are right that basic accounting logic will destroy demand for such fuels such that further investment gets stranded eventually.
Koch industries.
It’s up to you/us to avoid being extorted. I know I am.
