A global energy crisis is coming. There's no quick fix
CNN ^

ondon (CNN Business)Astronomical increases in natural gas prices. Skyrocketing coal costs. Predictions of $100 oil.

A global energy crunch caused by weather and a resurgence in demand is getting worse, stirring alarm ahead of the winter, when more energy is needed to light and heat homes. Governments around the world are trying to limit the impact on consumers, but acknowledge they may not be able to prevent bills spiking. Further complicating the picture is mounting pressure on governments to accelerate the transition to cleaner energy as world leaders prepare for a critical climate summit in November.

Umm, your boy caused it?

Classic.

Burn down the house, announce that houses are dangerous, present your self as the solution to burning houses.

Didn’t someone we all know claim that pipelines and fracking wouldn’t be stopped and then stopped them, resulting in this problem?

Who was that?

A politically-invented energy crisis, just like the political pandemic, is coming.

There's no quick fix except to throw out the Leftist perpetrators and the Imposter in Chief.

“...mounting pressure on governments to accelerate the transition to cleaner energy...”

Ha! Governments are going to feel REAL “mounting pressure” when energy prices zoom up 10X and people cannot afford to heat or cool their homes. And it won’t be to make the “transition to clean energy.”

At some point, it will be “WTF did you bastards do to our affordable energy supply???? Bring back cheap energy. Screw those windmills and solar cells.”

As we have such huge available supplies, if Trump was in office he would have a field day selling and trading coal, oil and gas. It would be a financial bonanza for the USA.

The environmentalists would all go bonkers.

All these Green policies will cause shortages and misery in the name of “sustainability”. It all amounts to:

1. Trying to fix a problem that does not exist [and]
2. Turning a blind eye to the worst offenders (China, India, etc.)

At the same time, somebody is making a ton of $$ off this. Count on it.

Is it an energy crisis that is coming? Or a currency crisis?

Caused by climate extremist’s, political BS and the destruction of American energy policies. That is what is causing it. Stop with the BS! There isn’t any shortages of energy ,just shortages of intestinal fortitude . The kind we need to lead the world out of this spiral into the dark ages. If the American people don’t save America NOW , the whole world is doomed!

“Burn down the house, announce that houses are dangerous, present your self as the solution to burning houses.”

This is the other edge of the sword that is a stupid public. They don’t have the patience to follow such reasoning. They know one thing, what affects them. If their life gets worse, the people in office pay. Now, they may simply select a different Democrat, but someone will pay.

Blame everything but the actual cause - governmental wars of on cheap, clean energy.

If you or someone you know freezes to death this winter because of the Squad and the #JihadJunta shutting off power, blame Dominion for installing #PresidentPotato as “Leader..”

The Final Objective is population reduction. Whether we freeze or starve doesn’t matter.

They’d opt for a nice quick nuclear war, but the cities where they live would be first to go.
