You can stick solar and wind up your .........

If something works, you don't annihilate it.

To every person in the northern hemisphere that finds themselves freezing and/or dying this Winter, remember, your own government did this to you. Also remember, there's a good chance that you voted for that government.

Enjoy!

The Biden regime is Putin’s best friend.

I remember how appalled the foreign policy establishment was when Trump went after the head of NATO at a media event. Trump asked that why, if NATO was formed as a defensive alliance against Russia, is Russia now controlling the oil flow into Germany and Europe? Why even have NATO?

That’s what happens under global warming fakery and energy socialism.

Sounds like the Regan playbook that took Russia down.

Britain is facing supply constraints following a fire which knocked out a key subsea cable that brought electricity from France, the UK’s top electricity supplier.

The blaze halted electricity imports via the 2,000 megawatt power cable, half of which is not expected to be available until March 2022.

“The Biden regime is Putin’s best friend.”

Better friends than enemies with Russia, especially now that we created China and have to deal with them.

But even so, it’s fun to say what you said on Leftist sites...they just can’t deal with it.

This can’t be a problem, warming due to climate change will make natgas irrelevant.

Or so the british have been saying for years now.

Freeze in the dark, morons.

I wanted to find out what that cable fire was all about, but got nothing from the link.

It does sound, from the text on wind, solar and soaring prices, like they have finally figured out how to make money on the weather, though.

I think the fire was at a “connector station” which is above ground, but which controls the cable capacity.

The UK fired up an old coal power plant to meet its electricity needs.. as the wind mills can not keep up.

Europe could be forced to burn more coal this winter ..

You are so right and until more folks take your initiative and start calling these losers out for what they are & have done nothing will ever change. Many, too many people fail to get informed before they cast a ballot.

Plus, our side fails to make our opponents and their supporters pay for their bad choices. We are seeing this change with the new generation of politicians on our side who see that we need to make our opponents live by the rules they enact.

Whether we win lose or draw, one thing we have failed to learn until recently is the process can be the punishment. Make them squeal from having to follow insane regulations, sue them at every turn and put them on the defense on every issue.

Apply the Flynn Method to all of the Marxists, bankrupt them making them lawyer-up on multiple fronts. Belittle their actions publicly, make their political lives miserable. Turnabout is fair play.

Typical schizophrenia of the day. They militate for fake problems of global warming, and when the real one of actual oil shortage comes up they cry.

Big businesses think they are somehow immune from this, and that it is only to affect the plebes like us. When my company had to shut down machines because of lack of plastic for molding, they went into a real rationing and worry moment instead of their feel good recycle horsesht

Bunch of morons

No small feat restarting a coal fired plant. The equipment in those plant likes to run, when they sit idle all kinds of bad things happen.
