As a guy who did a year in Iraq and a year in AFG I can say that not having to give a crap about what happens in the middle east is an outcome i'd like to see. I do think there are climate benefits to fewer ICE on the road in addition to pollution concerns, but my biggest reason for wanting far lower dependence on oil is national security and fewer geopolitical entanglements. i don't mind increased drilling in the US as long as it done with safety and environmentally sound methods. I do mind having to go to Saudi to say please.
