So, they decide to bring it ashore, the price of oil plummits, people in the short run buy larger gas guzzlers, the solar and wind industry goes into recession or crashes, air polution skyrockets, small oil producers are gutted, large producers including Russia stay afloat due to their large capacity, oil remains the fuel standard, dilling the arctic etc forge ahead, OPEC nations fail. In the long run, Russia and Exxon rule as planned....
Then we all die.
