This is a war with many fathers, all having different goals, and one big loser: the Western way of life.
There are several entities that saw a benefit in declaring war on fossil fuel: The environmentalists who are so historically illiterate that they believe a world without fossil fuels will be a bucolic paradise, rather than a Hobbesian nightmare; the leftists who want to break the West to rebuild it as a socialist paradise; the Great Reset/New World Order crowd, which envisions happy, possession-free serfs; and the Chinese, who foresee a bloodless conquest of the West which, believe me, will not be anybody’s paradise. While the winner among these groups isn’t clear, the loser is coming into focus: Ordinary people across the Western world. The latest example comes from Germany.
In 2018, President Trump warned Germany, which was proudly shutting down its own coal production and refineries, not to become dependent on Russia’s oil and gas:
Reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation. That is why we congratulate European states, such as Poland, for leading the construction of a Baltic pipeline so that nations are not dependent on Russia to meet their energy needs. Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course.
Germany and other European countries, basking in Greta Thunberg’s approval and wallowing in their virtue, sneered at Trump’s words and went their own way. And then, in 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. There is no “I told you so” big enough to encompass Trump’s prescience.

Since when is Germany “the good guys”? Biggest bunch of arrogant assholes the west has ever known.
Shortages are part of the deep stat plan to destroy our way of life and bring in the new world order where they are in complete control of We the People. The environmentalists are just well paid stooges controlling an emotional issue as part of their take over.
It is also to demarket resources, so they can be bought and owned by the oligarchs.
The progressives are waging a war against common sense, practicality, prudence, good judgment, frugality, sanity, nature, natural law, the laws of mathematics, science, economics...
Who do you think is going to win in the long run?
Our side loses nearly every fight they engage in. We are the George Chavalo of heavyweight boxing.
Well “accutate” ain’t accurate either.. but the definition remains as this:
“fossil fuel, any of a class of hydrocarbon-containing materials of biological origin occurring within Earth’s crust that can be used as a source of energy.” Encyclopedia Britanica
Just look up fossil-fuel definition and they’re all about the same and anyone who says differently might be argumentative down at the atomic level on certain things. Okay... that’s a given... but the definition remains.
Biologique’s are organic matter... rocks aren’t organic, I’m not for certain but rocks might not fossilize either. But carbon can be confusing which also might answer the mail on why nobidy seems to recognize the value organic chemistry. The press and mist politicians don’t seem to anyway.
They aren’t concerned about that. Liberals are after self-salvation and they are willing to watch the world burn if it means they get to wear a righteous uniform of their creation.
With Lyndsey Graham And Rob Portman on this issue , oh crap !
The Left is bat-guano crazy.
Still, they will lose in the end.
They are also deceived on another point.
They believe that once implemented, if it doesn’t work, they can just undue it.
agree
but how long is the long run?
how many generations will have to suffer?
Perhaps not. There is conservative apathy that refuses to fight and end the progressive constant fight to achieve their objectives.
You are missing the point in two ways:
First, “the good guys” being referred to here is Western Civilization, not Germany. Germany is just a prime example of a Western nation losing out.
Second, do you know any Germans personally? The German people are good people - as good as anyone else. The Germany people are certainly guilty of succumbing to government corruption and tyranny, but so are we Americans as it turns out.
There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel
In the face of new technologies and advances in all areas of society and other disciplines, Liberals can't force people BACK into serfdom... living in mud huts and freezing in the dark!
Just look up fossil-fuel definition and they’re all about the same and anyone who says differently might be argumentative down at the atomic level on certain things. Okay... that’s a given... but the definition remains.
Very good.
Thank you for making this informed point.
They were not easily moved, They were icy -- willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate.It isn't the conservatives the Left has to worry about. It is everyone who hasn't been indoctrinated into their bullshit.Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state.
