Germany has no liquefied natural gas port terminals

That's genius-level planning right there ...

Amazing how we’ve gone through ce tries of excellent progress, becoming one of the greatest nations on earth, to one where now all of a sudden we are facing severe shortages and for problems, and whatnot. All of,a sudden everything is becoming an “emergency” or “pandemic” and everyone “must make sacrifices” blah blah blah.

Once again, the “experts”, drunk on their momentum to reduce emissions via a reduction in the use of fossil fuels, overlooked the notion that nat gas is also pretty much the bedrock foundation of the entire world chemical industry. Apparently, nobody thought that fertilizer and thus food would be impacted. Nor plastics and the precursors for many medicines. It’s actually pretty incredible when you think about it, nat gas and its chemical products are absolutely fundamental to many, many components of civilization. Even if it smells funny.

Isn’t one of the issues with the Dutch government attempting to shut down a lot of farmers that the cows are creating too much ammonia? Send that cow pee to Germany.

Any reason why we the U.S. couldn’t become leader in ammonia production & fertilizer king of the world? And then we could move on from there. All this would be if we had a leader of course.

Starving the Planet. Gotta get rid of 7 billion folks somehow and the cheapest way possible. (See WEF and Uncle Klaus Schwab).

Here in the Ozarks the ground is so poor the only way to make it fertile is to raise tens of thousands of chickens, then used the manure on the fields.

If you have ever been in a large chicken house in the summer you will be choked and tear up by the ammonia produced by the chickens.

Remember Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum, and “You will own nothing and you will be happy” as well as “Eat the bugs because meat is bad for the environment” ?

Yes, they have rented a couple floating terminals from Turkey but they offer only a small capacity cf to what they need. Too bad they didn’t start building their own five years ago when Trump explained the future to them.

The US produces a little more than 8 million tons of ammonia, not enough to meet our domestic needs. Currently under construction in Texas is what will be the largest ammonia plant in the world when it opens in 2023. That will help. I suspect we haven’t been a leader because it has been a cheap commodity, up till now, cheaper to import than to produce domestically.

We are reducing production at facilities that require large volumes of natural gas, such as ammonia plants.

Climate **control** dots being connected.

Mass starvation is planned, by the WEF/Davos crowd. Too many of us plebes taking up their view.

Excellent, and natural gas is used as the source of hydrogen. So without hydrogen there is no ammonia (NH3).
