El Nino bring it on
Let's be clear, Trump did not warn Germany about Russian energy out of the goodness of his heart and was giving great advise, he was speaking on behalf of US energy corporations. In other words I want you to stop buying cheap efficient energy from Russia and buy expensive energy from America which will take longer to deliver and pay billions in infrastructure.
Wonder if ppl were having these same discussions during the medieval warming period ,or during the mini ice age ?
25% truth telling here which is better then most. Keep in mind there is decades of fossil fuels left if we keep consuming at our current rate, less if you factor on growth. "green energy" nuclear and hydro all require fossil fuels to build them. If we use all the fossil fuels up we guarantee the planet will not support most current life on the planet.
Russia bowled over Crimea because it was always granted free access before the 2011 NATO backed coup. They would not have had access had they not and it is of utmost strategic importance to Russia to have the Crimean naval port. An inconvenient detail you probably don’t want to deal with Briahna. Ukraine was part of the Soviet union and was only given its own national autonomy by kruschev in the late 50s as a friendly gesture. One that Russia would regret 30 years later.
These discussions are so frustrating in that there is a fundamental misunderstanding of the crisis. We do not have an energy crisis, we have a resources crisis. It would be great if one of the panelists would read "Overshoot" (1980), by William R. Catton, which lays out the inevitable collapse of the world industrial culture because we are coming to the end of affordable and available natural resources upon which everything in our industrialized/consumerist world depends.
Robby did you just quote Greta Thunberg? My man come on. That being said yes we should be using nuclear power plants. It is one of the cleaner energy sources and we have better technology to deal with safety precautions
It's not that Trump is that bright, he isn't. Our elites are really dumb. And brutal.
At least this time the Germans are mainly being a danger to their own people rather than the entire world. Rather ironic..
They don't care about the climate; they want you to stop using fossil fuels so they have less competition for cheap energy.
I remember some guy warning Europe about reliance on Russian gas a few years ago. I think they all laughed at him. Who was that…?
Wait till February 2023, it's just getting started, have the popcorn ready folks.
This will be the time we remember as the good old days.
Wars is bad for the environment
The war in Ukraine, that we the West deliberately created, isn't the cause of this energy crisis. It's the unnecessary US pushed sanctions on Russia and the US destruction of Nordstream. It's all deliberate. Nuclear and fracking isn't the solution, it's the trap laid by those who rule us.
Why mention Thunberg? She is very much part of the problem. Why do people listen to children? You get what you ask for.
It really burns Bri up that Trump was right.
This is all planned. All of it. If you're in denial of that, it's time to accept reality. There has to be pain and discomfort in transition to their green utopia. It's time to accept that this is happening.
She gotta be related to Winona Ryder
The Hill needs to find someone other than Batya for Rising. I thought Rising's whole brand was to be not-Libbish, but here we have just about the most milquetoast Lib (with the Newsweek job to prove it) trying to pass herself off as an outsider. And to add insult to injury she subs in for Briahna. At least Kim Iversen wasn't a total shill…
Trump is a common sense leader. He had the country on a positive path to growth than Biden destroyed it and every issue our country was caused on purpose.
American oil is clean and makes no sense to pay 10x more for dirty oil costing 100x more for transportation and pollution of the oceans to transportation. Trumo said the Green New deal is a global hoax to bankrupt and starve countries and enrich the globelist.
Solinesky wife went on a 40,000 shopping spree in France. Good to see your tax dollar to good use.
There is no energy crisis. There is a cabal of climate change cultists purposely witholding energy from the masses.
The release of methane to the atmosphere by the melt is unavoidable the scientists say. Instead of allowing it to be released why aren't we using it? Power as much as possible and use it in homes so it's not simply released into the atmosphere.
Turns out Trump was right again. Sorry, Bri, but you late your hate blind you.
Trump didn't predict the European gas prices because the United States government manufactured the European gas prices. It's like me predicting you'll get hit by my car.
Let's Go Biden, and Hunter plus James too.
imagine a government that acts in the interests of radicals over the citizens of their country, closing down energy production in order to satiate the nut jobs who use all the fossil fuels to make their anti energy people killing policies a reality.
Gen X don’t care about climate change 😡
It wasn't "predictable"……But…..President Trump Predicted it!!!
For God's sake can you just give President some credit???
<<The rich stays rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then the poor stays poor by spending like the rich yet not investiing like the rich
At least oil and gas are extracted by grown men. All the materials essential for your electric car batteries are extracted by CHILDREN wearing flip-flops in the Congo.
Did Russia cut off its own gas supply?
Really I thought we're past that theory
Europeans think they are so much smarter than the rest of the world. They act like their progressive polices are not inefficient and highly leveraged. It's all going to come tumbling down
Peak oil plays a role in this conversation
This subject and video is legit and inconvenient for so many ideologies.
