And guess who has been funding many of the “Green Energy” groups in Europe and North America. That is right...Russia, Russia, Russia.

Whoever controls the REAL global energy resources will control the world. pretty simple.

wind/solar power may be a nice supplement to the power grid here and there but no you can not sustain an industrialized world of 9+ billion people on compost patties and solar panels.

other then nuclear power (which does have its genuine inherent risks) there simply is no current way mankind can thrive without fossil fuels. perhaps that will change one day but for now we need fossil fuel or the world will be as desolate as Wyoming.

Yep, look at China go after the BTU’s! Guess who wins a war? The Air Force with Fossil Fuel planes or electric planes…….. Want to play again? Ok Fossil Fuel tanks or electric tanks?

There’s a serious movement in this country to starve and freeze us in the dark, while Russia and China will prosper using fertilizer and burning fossil fuels. The communists will turn the west into cold, hungry third world countries.

Alternate energy is not cheap, reliable or all that clean.
If it worked well, it would not be called "alternate".
Energy security means Nuclear, Coal, Oil and Natural Gas, whatever is most appropriate for the application.

--- "It's been a persistent drumbeat for many years: Fossil fuels are obsolete, and the facilities that produce them, along with any further facilities that might be built for that purpose, will shortly become worthless. These facilities will be “stranded assets.” And any energy company stupid enough to make further investment in fossil fuel extraction or use will inevitably suffer a total loss. Do you believe that prediction?

No. And hell no.

After WWI, the issued war bonds were "devalued" by messaging, people sold at a loss of at least 10 percent, the banks bought them up and held them until parity or above was reached and then profited on the little guy, as ever.

The messaging of "stranded assets" is a message to the small time investors. Dump it while you still can! Stampede! Run for the exit! And then, as ever....

There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel
