Have you even heard of the petro-dollar? If you think it's just a "Shell" thing to not care about climate, think again. It's a politics thing. The US economy would simply collapse if all the world started decreasing their fuel use.

Which I wouldn’t care as much if the US economy would “collapse”. Restarting it would probably be better for everybody and there is chance it wouldn’t even hurt the average American besides maybe the gas going up, but it would still be cheaper than here in The Netherlands.

There's a lot of say that US and co. (including Russia, Iran, China) make a lot of money off of wars related to oil... etc. Can't verify or deny that. Just food for thought.
