Following the familiar pattern of never letting a crisis go to waste, the Biden administration has now admitted their intent, with the opportunity Ukraine represents, is to fundamentally change the U.S. energy program to Green New Deal objectives.
As they did with the COVID crisis, it is not the actual crisis that matters, but the government response to the crisis. That response is what triggers the fundamental change. As noted by Keeler, “there is no reason a contained conflict on the edges of Europe should be fundamentally altering the global financial system. The hysterical overreaction is doing that, as it was intended to.”
The same approach applies to oil and a totally new energy program. Jennifer Granholm claims that the crisis in Europe is an “urgent moment” to transition to “clean energy.” Secretary Jennifer Granholm made the admission recently during remarks at a climate change discussion, while seated next to John Podesta {Direct Rumble Link}, WATCH:
“Clean Energy” will make the USA clean out of energy.
That is the goal of “clean energy” – to force us out of our homes and cars, and into high density housing and public transit.
The Great Reset/UN Agendas 21/2030.
Resist!
And ultimately to kill most of us off.
…and wouldn’t you just know it….Who is front and center? John “Pedo” Podesta. He’s like a bad rash. ‘Just won’t go away.
As long as they live, those on the Left will never go away.
Its their mission to inflict misery on us.
They still have much work to do in that regard.
Maybe the Ukraine crisis can flare up into a greater war to help speed things up.
All that and more!
So they have more control of all of us, not just the ones who are forced to live in those kind of public housing unit places
Bumper sticker?
Good one!Made my da.y
Bankrupt America First…
FJB sez FU
If you do not produce oil and gas you cannot extract gas liquids like ethylene and propylene. These are building blocks of plastics. Forget about synthetic fibers for clothing. Where do you think tires come from? No oil and refineries forget about asphalt. Think about costs of secondary roads and repairs w/o asphalt. How much thinking has gone into dropping fossil fuels?
Complex hydrocarbons are also in cosmetics.
I don’t know about you, but I think liberal women are ugly enough as it is. Inside, and out.
Its whats inside them that makes them the ugliest.
But but, these never worked in the real world. Never had a real job or, bill to worry about in there lives. Only remember a handful of what there commie university professors taught them. Are now learning, listening and accepting money from more indoctrinated lobbiest fools from our single worst enemy. The Educational System that was taken over decades ago by haters of American values. This so called higher education system. Function like and is taught by people who could not make it in the real world. These sheltered people have taught & transformed our American youth & culture into the Commiekraut European model of thought. Indoctrinating our youth, too be against everything our forefathers fought, taught, and even gave US the paperwork too fight for ourselves. The Constitution and Bill of Rights. We as a people, have been lulled into giving our children to the state for education. So our youngest learn things our older generations would have never taught children. Now we set back and wonder why everything has gone terribly wrong in our country. It starts with the children. We let it happen, thinking this could never happen in America. Just look around, we’ve been taken over without a shot. Local, state, & federal government’s believe everything you have is theirs. Force decrees, mandates, fines, taxes, take our children from us, force us against our will for there benefit. We have lost sight of everything American. It is only a shell of a memory, of what the meaning of being a True American used to mean!
Too bed your paragraph is so long and mashed together. The only way I could read it (since I’ve got AMD) was to copy it to another page and separate things and add another space between sentences. Made sense when I actually read it. Guess you are one of those fast finger typists?
So, since asphalt is also a petroleum byproduct, are we going back to dirt roads? Oh wait, we won’t have cars so it won’t matter.
But then we’d have to grow more stuff to feed horses instead of the people.
no big deal, you won’t have a car any more
You may want to break it down further to the narcissistic crew,.. no fake nails or nail polish remover. There,.. got you a few dems back to your side. Here in Texas we have a nail salon on every corner.
“They”.Don’t.Care. All that matters to these monsters is that we are gone from this planet so that “they” can live however they want to. Except that’s not how it works – God wins. Satan loses. Whatever happens to them after death, will be in an eternally hot place.
Talk about “global warming”….!
Might as well just mention not living anywhere there is a cold Winter either….can’t even burn wood any more as it is, but without oil, we’d have NO HEAT in Winter….go live in the southern countries instead of the U.S. North West, Mid West or East……no more illegal or even legal immigration…..
None I would guess.
Jordan Peterson is right when he says the green new deal is an excellent tool to kill alot of poor people.
Only for the peons…..our masters will have plenty of energy available.
Our government is out of control. We are not your surfs or peasants. You cannot simply flip from fossil fuel to green energy overnight. Our infrastructure is not set up for it. Freaking control freaks. This isn’t going to end well. FJB
Switching to green overnight isn’t really the goal. Destroying the current energy sector overnight is the goal.
They want us dead.
Electric Vehicles are dependent upon 13 essential minerals that travel through 13 different supply chains through 60 countries. Half of them go through Russia.
There will be no EVs without Russian nickel and zinc. (No giant wind turbines either). Tesla announced last month they were moving to higher nickel content batteries. Looks like they will have to rethink that.
EU has lists of “Substances of special concern” that have to be documented throughout the entire supply chain. I wonder if we should demand that for “green” technology and EVs. I certainly want to know how much more polluting, and how much less efficient the “green “stuff is..s..
And lithium (China and Afghanistan) and neon for microchips (Ukraine). But the elites have their unilateral deals cemented.
there is only enough Lithium mined each year to build about 1.2 million cars … even if we had unlimited free unicorn f*rt electricity we couldn’t begin to build enough EV’s for 1 year much less replace the hundreds of millions of cars already on the road …
Destroying the USA, not just its energy sector
How dare you disrespect our betters, you uppity peasant!
For THEM.
” You cannot simply flip from fossil fuel to green energy overnight.”
Nor can you “transition” over 100 years – because so-called “clean” energy does not work. Look at the blackouts and brownouts in Germany, California, Texas.
Nowhere on the planet does heavily-subsidized “clean” energy actually power a modern society reliably.
It. Doesn’t. Work.
Therefore – there is nothing “there” to transition to. It is a fantasy.
Solar panel farms take up huge acreage’s. They have to store the energy that they produce. The most common method of storage is to use thousands of large, hyper expensive and fire prone lithium batteries.
The cost alone of solar equipment is colossal. Add the fact that the DC – Direct Current voltages stored in these batteries have to be converted to AC – Alternating Current before the energy produced can be connected to the national grid. This requires expensive power lines that often have to span long distances.
I seriously doubt if any of today’s solar powered plants come anywhere close to even breaking even. They exist solely because of government grants.
Maybe the technology will improve in the future but to cripple the oil industry at this time is beyond stupid. Those doing this are obviously non technical dreamers. Either that or they are working to destroy our beloved country.
Also water and lithium are NOT a good combination. They don’t play nice with each other.
Give thought to what one EMP would do to our electric grid, and “that” could be right around the next corner.
Knock down some power lines in the middle of the night. They brought in enough Afgan’s to knock down quite a few all at once!
Yup, less room for food products, so they have to do away with more people right?
Where’s all the outrage from psycho-Greenies over the deaths of millions of birds in wind generators, including eagles, hawks?
Have they forgotten DDT ?
Do any psycho-Greenies care that the ground under those solar panels is so hot, nothing lives? No plants, tortoises, lizards. Nothing!
And choice? Not everyone wants or could afford a
plug-in-the-wall car!
Stuff it!
They really don’t give a s*** from all the silence we hear from them…..all agree with FJB….and his helpers.
Your key word…subsidized! Remove all the subsidies and this so-called green energy will fall flat on its face. Ever wonder why it’s called “green” energy? Perhaps it’s because of all the “green” money we throw at it?
Nobody in the world has ever thought about actually going back to the middle ages have they? That is what it will/would be like when the oil is gone. Just think of all the good that will also disappear at the same time…..bad with the good….doesn’t make any difference, we will be back to close to what it was in the 1700’s. And not just here in this country , but the whole world all over.
This isn’t ever going to end if we don’t kick every Socialist Nazi out of government!
“Never let a crisis go to waste.”
Rahm Emanuel (screw the spelling of it’s wrong ..)
In a word of translation that make any sense/ability, “The Green new energy deal requires a fundamental understanding that, “Our global energy needs are at a cusp, in affect the powers to be know that the technology behind terrestrial Fusion is a technology based very close to operational reality.
Just food for thought.
If that is the case.
Just how might the energy economy respond in perseverance of, “Pulling the wool over the great unwashed fly-over demographic.”
Meaning, if Fusion technology is very close to a prime time launch.
In terms of electrical generation capacity that require nothing more than a fundamental change of, “How stream is generated to power and seemless mesh completely with our current terrestrial electrical grids of electricity generation.
Then, what can I say…
Then the endeavors of the current fossil fuel industry are seeking nothing more than positioning themselves to capitalize on the planet’s basic fundamental energy requirements.
Yes, I do belive that the problems of Fusion have been overcome.
Such, that global goverence has entered into a mode of what if, that Fusion can realistically replace fossil fuels.
Then what?
Does the global fossil fuel economy seeks to to position themselves ahead of the curve.
Just what advantages does the all encompassing global fossil energy economy see this transition. Does it, see the the very foundation of nearly 90% of the global economy tried to energy generation just might require a hoodwink to persevere their power.
fusion has been very close to operational reality for 40 years … more unicorns … just like stem cells …
Ol’ Joe’s hardly the only one in his party who’s lost his grip on reality.
How many psychopaths and traitors in positions of governmental authority can a nation endure before it collapses in on itself, never to rise again? America is fast approaching that tipping point.
Tell that to our Vietnam Vets…the ones who were lucky enough to come home to an unappreciative reception.
The war is just beginning amigo! You know not of what you spiel!
Worst Case Scenario
Almost every day somebody in the Biden admin demonstrates to the world that the USA has reached its pinnacle and is now being pushed into a steep decline. It is not possible for the USA to retain its strength in the world by destroying its oil and gas sector while China and others do not. Like it or not, petroleum products are still the life sustaining blood of a healthy economy and a strong military. Not wind generators, electric vehicles and solar cells.
The corrupt election system has also been largely ignored and the 2022 mid terms do not encourage optimism given the priorities of most of the GOP today. Ukraine is at the top of their list at a crucial time in U.S’s own bleak history. Numerous problems within the USA are marginalized or ignored. Another Bloated corrupt Omnibus Bill is pending to further undermine the U.S. dollar and the economy. The border chaos is transforming the country with very little push back and on and on….
It seems apparent that the leaders of many countries in the world are searching for a new country to suck up to as the new generous world leader to sponge off. If it turns out to be China, they will not be as generous and willing to give away any free gifts like the USA does in massive ways at the taxpayers or expanding Debt’s expense.
All countries will pay or become indebted to China for every kind of help or assistance and will be forced to show effusive respect and compliance to their new master country. Freedom will be discarded as a “luxury that is no longer possible.”
Well stated.
The only minor-correction I would make is changing “.. USA has reached its pinnacle and is now being pushed into a steep decline” to “USA has reached its pinnacle and is now being driven into a steep decline”.
Agreed. Driven is better.
Yeah, in a Tesla.
Clean energy is a misnomer. Solar panels require all kinds of toxic materials such as hydrochloric and nitric acids in the manufacture of the panels. Wind requires environmentally damaging extractive processes and chemical processes to manufacture the blades which, like the solar panels, present recycling challenges not to mention killing birds, bats and beneficial insects. I might add that wind farms are ugly as hell. Don’t get me started on electric car batteries; good luck with the recycling of batteries which are packed with toxic heavy metals. They are a nightmare to put out if they catch fire.
Bottom line: all things have costs. There are no free rides and “clean energy” is a myth and fraud.
“Clean Energy” is much like “Honest Politicians” in that both are frequently talked about, especially amongst the elites in Washington DC during their champagne parties! In reality, neither has EVER existed and probably will NEVER exist on Earth! But it gets them elected, respected by Tenured University dope-heads and paid to speak at certain events. It’s just one more thing in this country that has turned into pure political BS!
Massive windmill and solar panel installations also take over valuable forest and fam land.
That’s “farm” land
3 more years folks. Even if they trot FJB off to a nursing home with nurse Jill Kammy will keep this pain going and going. The only brakes possible are this November MAGA ticket local state Federal up and down now mercy no hesitation.
This Nation goes nowhere until the 2020 rigged, fraudulent election is rectified and remedied.
Can you say mail in voting. Remember who counts the vote controls the vote. Nov will tell the tail
Again: They believe they can rule the world. It gets to a point that things get so out-of-control that they won’t be able to live in CONUS. They are evil children playing with fire.
It’s past time for the fire to appear. Waaaaaaay past time.
This woman knows nothing. She’s not even a good liar. Lots of plastic surgery didn’t help either. I can’t stand to watch or listen to any of these cabinet people because none of them has any credibility. Can’t even lie well.
If the US were to rid herself of communists, globalists and democrats (deport them all) the US as an isolationist country would have energy independence and the ability to produce all the food required to feed her citizens. That is a fact. Now let’s figure out how to implement this alternative idea for a Great Reset.
Even my 7 year old grandkid knows that the only green energy that makes any sense is nuclear.
Smart Child, must have Great and caring Grandparents.
Maybe you’re right about nuclear but why are NY taxpayers paying a green energy tax to bail out nuclear energy plants upsate? Why can’t they make money? We’ve never had to bail out natural gas which we have tons of. I’m not a fan of nuclear especially when leaks are way more dangerous than oil spills.
What he means is that the Whitehouse is doing its.best to financially punish the American people. The cost of heating their homes and driving their cars is bankrupting the citizens. The poor management of n our transportation has caused 3mpty shelves and the cost of diesel fuel with raise prices almost daily.
The fact that the Biden administration has been has made errors in almost every move they made , makes it looks suspiciously like the Biden decisions are planed.
This voter, a former Democrat, will never vote for a Democrat again. Never.
As I said from start: Smokescreen !
But sadly, innocent people are paying for it in the Ukraine, & the USA, as is the expected outcome.
No more INFLATION, OIL, FORCED JABS, THREATS, DC INJUSTICE in the news. Very transparent!
Virtually everything that DC has tried to fix they have failed miserably. To name a few, crime, poverty, education, immigration, deficit. We are now confronted with war, hyperinflation, recession, asset bubbles, food and supply shortages, and these hypocrites in DC are focused on zero carbon emissions and climate change. Our nation is in peril from within.
“Clean” out your life savings for Stupiditty, that will work eh Gram Ma? She did well ruining Michihan, now USA- Priceless!
Honestly, I hate the people running the federal government!
So, if you are considering an electric vehicle, you will want to watch this first:
There is no such thing as “clean” energy, only systems that do not work.
This is an ongoing sequence of planned crises, the end of which is the communist transformation of the First American Republic. The plandemic established the need and right of the state, and the globalist elite that controls it, to declare emergencies and use the police power of the state in unprecedented ways. As the plandemic became unsustainable, the professional wrestling match between Russia and Ukraine orchestrated by the Great Resetters has replaced it, the goal being to save the electoral bacon of the party of satanism, socialism and sodomy in November. If this can be done, they will use the destruction of the American energy industry and the continuing “climate change” hoax to impose a regime of unending austerity and rationing (except, or course, for the elite and their mansions, yachts and private jets). The continuing specter of “insurrection” and “domestic terrorism”, supplemented by riots organized as needed by anarchists, communists and black supremacists, will be used to maintain the permanent state of emergency. We are not quite Oceania under Big Brother yet, but it is December 1983 in the dying First American Republic.
Podesta? There’s a real beauty! He, of Hillary! friendship game. He’s in it for the $$$.
Just before President Trump beat her like a rented mule in November 2016, he divested himself of millions in Russian stocks. His brother’s also nefarious.
Over time, they think we’ll forget the things they did and the company they kept.
Clean energy leaves us vulnerable to attack.
Buy or make a still and retrofit an older vehicle to run on pure ethanol. Also, keep in mind that you can run a diesel vehicle on fuel oil. We’re going to patch things together until we get to the other side of this disaster.
Shut up, serfs! Just let the caviar crowd subjugate you right back to the stone age.
YOU, not them.
Yeah, it would be just like those hypocrites to import a ton of Russian caviar for their shindigs while depriving us of Russian oil. Oh, and #FJB!
Isn’t most caviar from Russia? Oh the irony….
“Governor Jenny” was a disaster for Michigan, caused to our Great Recession start early and last longer. She is ignorant and is just as foolish and incompetent as the rest of Xiden’s “Administration”.
After war, murder by vaccine and famine, the elite will have a much more manageable and compliant population of stooges to lord over.
Can anyone in DC do a process flow map/timeline that shows the source of raw materials for batteries all the way to its input into a vehicle ? Then what source is going to produce the electricity that is needed to charge and recharge all the batteries to run AMERICA ? With these clowns in DC we are DOOMED. My money is going on the Amish way of life and we had better start learning how to raise horse and make buggies and raise and grow our own food.
There has simply not been enough dialog on exactly how “clean” the two major contenders are when compared to natural and liquified gas or properly harvested and processed crude oil. Not enough discussion about the vast amounts of land required for solar to serve too few people, let alone charge their electric vehicles, or the wasted by product of huge fiberglass blades from aging wind turbines, let alone the massive requirements for concrete needed for their mount foundations and again, land and the unattractive, noise polluted landscape. The killing of flying wildlife. Of course then, the whole other topic of battery manufacturing and those battery’s eventual disposal or the accelerated use/waste of rubber for tires that wear twice as fast (weight) on an EV. All of that mentioned in this comment heavily subsidized by our government. The recently exposed silencing of opposing opinion from giant tech companies and social media is nothing when compared to the huge coverup going on within the “renewable” energy industry. Not enough discussion has been had on just how many people worldwide have benefitted (in the form of life itself) from fossil fuels. Fuel which may not have come from fossils at all, and may in fact be generated from deep within the earth itself… making it “renewable” or “sustainable”. There is also not enough available discussion on the benefit of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere which the mainstream refers to as “carbon”, which it is not. The amount of energy consumed to propel your vehicle or heat your home or harvest your crops or transport your goods is the same whether or not you are charging batteries or filling your gas/oil/propane tank. And before running off, I have to ask the question, “Can our government really control the climate?”.
Various forms of energy should reflect areas/populations they serve. A small geographic area like…….NYC….. would require the land area of Connecticut for solar and wind. NYC would best be run by nuclear. Solar and wind is best used in rural areas where a house/home place on a bit of acreage could be reasonably powered by solar and maybe some wind. Suburbs maybe Hydro and some oil. I’m in GA where Lake Lanier is north of Atlanta. People fret and claim climate change since it is always dropping volume. I say, no, weather is probably fine, it’s just that Lake Lanier built 60-70 years ago when the area it served was 1/4 current population. The lake could easily service the same amount or 1/2 the current population. Again, Atlanta area probably best served by nuclear. Smallest footprint for most power output.
To make it simple, to get to zero carbon you must replace all your power plants with ones that do not burn anything. Nuclear. This will not happen tomorrow. Wind/solar/batteries just will not work.
My opinion is that Putin is upsetting the NWO and has the goods in all the corruption in the Ukraine, here and around the world.
Traitors, Granholm is a pathetic human being.
Where is my free car?
Intelligent people would have all the infrastructure in place before making this statement. They would also make sure the the amount of vehicles needed to start switching over were plentiful and already on the market enmass, which would bring the price down as well.
But, oh well…..
Being in residential solar, an effort to help Americans obtain energy independence on their own terms, my opinions on green energy are accordingly biased. But this stupidity by the supremely unqualified Granholm is not missed by many people I talk to.
Compounded ignorance is not unexpected from Democrats. If you saw the pics of the line of Teslas waiting their turn at a charging station in Louisiana, the charging times well beyond specs because of grid demand, realize it’s what our betters want to see, for all Americans. It’s not that they don’t know where electricity comes from, or their irrational hatred of fossil fuels. It’s the deployed force that they enjoy.
Their created crises are merely helpful.
Their usual method of incrementalism is selective. Go green, by all means. Once you’ve replaced one source with another more palatable- whatever your motivation- make the switch. Not before. That’s just stupid, and masochistic.
No, that’s unacceptable. That we’re blessed with the world’s largest deposits of thermodynamically superior energy sources, which enable comfort while exhibiting the most grievous panoply of ignorance is beside the point. You must comply.
CO2 is poisoning the planet, you filthy breathing human. We’ve sold off our access to lithium and neon for good reason, plebes. /s
People like Granholm truly do believe we’re as stupid as they actually are.
If you’ve considered solar, it’s actually now worth the long-term investment, and a good hedge against stupidity. Telling the folks who own the meter on your home to shove it is also extraordinarily gratifying.
If you can’t force people to do things, where’s the fun?
Can an all electric driverless car make it to 🇲🇽 Cancun Mexico from Los Angeles? Asking for friends.
the issue is NEVER the issue
this was never about ‘global warming’, except to the foolish morons among us. This, just like the scamdemic is totally about control. The only ‘clean’ energy they could transition us to is nuclear but they will never do that because we would retain our individual power and freedom over our own lives.
Stop selling carbon based products on the east coast from DC to Maine. No more gas, no more heating oil, no more electricity. Then they will stop sending degenerates to DC.
Ok – so please deliver this clean energy, thanks.
Once again an ignorant band of foolish leftists create a crisis and then use it to push an already failing agenda . Energy production is vital to our nation and environmental concerns are important however tossing our economic viability in the toilet with deliberate energy shortages is ridiculous !
The unintended consequences are endless .
These leftist fools want to reduce dependency on fossil fuels with nothing to replace it ready for prime time .
Endangering our food production and transportation with our economic status at home and globally circling the drain is at least foolish and at most Treasonous and intentional !
I would venture to say the crisis in Ukraine was instigated by the Biden Administration to specifically caused the “perceived ” transition to the green new deal. Hell they passed backdoor gun control in the omnibus bill
Somebody has to step in and stop this. We will not submit to their insane, robotic green energy! It is not natural, the monster windmills are a DISASTER.
We have bad people running things
Might work if they would just give every one a EV car, right now so we could begin using them and that would just solve all the world problems…..
Did she actually say anything? Other that gibberish? Incoherent babbling? Word salad?
These people are actively and systematically destroying our Republic.
Like I said, should have elected Hillary, now the unhinged have no rules to contain them. It a free for all…for your treasure!
You simply can NOT fix stupid, and that is exactly what these people are. Their pipedreams are expensive, worthless, and will destroy this country, in terms of jobs, commerce, and the use of our natural resources. Everytime Democrats get in power, they start their BS pipedreams again about green energy. It will simply destroy the economy, and this country. Their stupidity is only worth one thing. Make the people of this country so angry, they will kick these idiots out office. Now that would be a good thing.
They aren’t stupid. They know exactly what they are doing. They are evil. Don’t be naive. Any that don’t know are merely useful idiots.
And they are doing it. No one is stopping them, where are the lawsuits?
