alt Hacker NewsThe biggest beneficiary of this whole thing will be the shift to renewable energy. I am surprised to see the greens up in arms about it all.

The ends don't necessarily justify the means. And it might just as well be a shift to nuclear energy instead, which greens are traditionally against.

I was just thinking how much this situation benefits China and their solar power industry.
The ability of a state to run on energy pulled out of thin air is an obvious strategic benefit.
Surely the resources required to build and maintain solar panels, turbines, dams, and nuclear reactors are logistically more stable than oil has proven to be.
