> Geopolitics Likely to Trump Economics

No, economics is likely to trump naivety - geopolitics doesn't come into the match.

The economics in play - which have *always* been in play despite the alleged politics
of the players - are simply that profit rules all. All of the various gift-wrapping ("energy
independence", "clean coal", "clean natural gas", "green energy&quot is just a dust trail
laid down to distract the attention of the herd while the predators do what they've
always done: prey.

Anyone who believes otherwise is either lying or deluded.
