In reply to the discussion: If the Iran nuclear deal holds and becomes a lasting legacy (knock on wood) [View all]cstanleytech
(26,291 posts)12. Well hopefully if this goes through Iran will wake up to the fact that they dont need nukes at all
not while they have oil and even after thats gone if they invest the money wisely in building their education system and investing in alternate forms of safe energy like solar and wind they should be fine.
Its the countries that dont invest in those things that rely on fossil fuels and or nuclear reactors until the oil is all gone imo that are probably going to suffer the worst if they dont get off their butts and start building the infrastructure that they will need to survive a world without oil.

And now the *really* hard part - keeping its opponents on either side from sabotaging it.

If the deal holds and Republicans don't screw it up, the price of oil will fall.

You are correct. We cannot allow this group to control foreign policy. It would mean perpetual war.

If there is a war, or even talk of a supply interruption, the price will go up.
