I'm sick of being told that one group of dumbfuck barbarians is better or worse than another. They all SUCK.
There are plenty of alternative energy sources, fracking, nuclear, renewables, so that's probably not a driver. The main problem is that many countries are waging proxy wars across the region, the Russians support Assad so the west supports the insurgents, or did up until now, and find themselves on the wrong side.
If these powers could put their own interests to one side and agree to fix the problem it would be done within months.
That's the problem with the way the Western democracies are structured: no people of principle are ever elected.
