Countries around the world are feeling the brunt of the global energy crisis.
Some Chinese provinces are rationing electricity, Europeans are paying exorbitant prices for liquefied gas and Lebanon has run out of centrally-generate electricity.
Furthermore, India is close to running out of coal and in the United States, the price of a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.25 on Friday, up from April's $1.27.
As the global economy works to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, the sudden energy crisis is putting a strain on supply chains and stirring geopolitical tensions.
What's more, as global leaders are preparing to meet for the landmark Cop26 in the hope of taking steps towards easing climate change, questions are now being raised about the plausibility of a global green energy revolution.
The crisis has been blamed on a perfect storm of factors, primarily the economic recovery from the pandemic coming after countries spent less on the extraction of fossil fuels over the last 18 months.
An unusually cold winter in Europe that drained the continent's energy reserves, a series of hurricanes that shutdown Gulf oil refineries, worsening relations between China and Australia and less wind over the North Sea have also contributed.
'It radiates from one energy market to another,' Daniel Yergin, author of The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations, told the Washington Post.
'Governments are scrambling to get subsidies in place to avoid a tremendous political backlash,' he said.
'There's a pervasive anxiety about what may or may not happen this winter, because of something we have no control over, which is the weather.'
Ahead of the Cop26 summit in Glasgow at the end of the month, renewable energy advocates are arguing that the crisis shows the need to move away from fossil fuels.

“Energy crisis grips the world: Lebanon runs out of power, India warns its coal-fired plants could go dark in just three days, blackouts hit China and gas prices soar in Europe”
coming soon to a country near you ...
They have to create all these crisis’s ......that’s just how they roll....confusion and chaos. Without this they can’t hide what they’re really up to.
There hasn't been an unusually cold winter in Europe for many years. They just make sh!t up as they go along.
Weather bell is looking for a colder than average winter...
I learned more about government from this than all the amount of history i endured in school and college.
Types of Government, Explained
Both weather bell and the Farmer’s Almanac.
That will likely wreak havoc in the northeast.
If the fall pans out to be as warm as they say, the Great Lakes will not cool much by the time the winter sets in.
With the temperature difference between the warm lakes and the cold Canadian air being the driving factor in lake effect snow amounts, those in the classic snow belt areas can expect to see a rough winter.
Throw in a couple nor’easters for good measure, and even areas not normally prone to a lot of lake effect will get nailed.
Excellent idea and crystal clear.....I say we of Course are suppose to be A Republic.....under Biden we are an Oligarchy with Tyranny in some of our major cities.
It was so simple and so concise.
We are now at the anarchy stage of the overthrow.
Yep...that’s what I’m reading too....going to be snowy and bitter cold....or one or the other at times.
I can’t recall the year, not too far back, where it was so brittle early on.....the kind your nose sticks if you step out your door! HA! I don’t welcome that type of cold at all and hibernate like a bear when it’s that bad.
It’s not lead nor any momentum for that yet.
...... Although BLM and the Antifah have their moments it’s not sufficient for overthrowing the government especially since they’re supported by this Obama/Biden Government......if anything those two groups are like Anacrists in the streets with their behavior of destruction....Soros funded a whole lot. He’d love to see America fall and he’s invested to make that happen.
But there’s no more mean Tweets!!!!!
Excellent video!

COVID stoogery panic porn and its practitioners bear most of the blame.
Here’s the logic:
Oil from the Keystone Pipeline would cause pollution.
Oil from Arab countries and Russia doesn’t cause pollution it’s MAGIC OIL..
Therefore Biden saved the world from Climate Change by making the US energy dependent....and only using expensive magic oil.
I was thrilled when I found it.
It made so much more sense than any other thing I had heard.
“LGB!” Just think, less than a year ago we were energy independent. I wonder what happened. Did CONvid19 decimate energy sector workers?
Just wow. And the sad thing is people all over the world have zero clue how rejecting Trump leadership in the US fails everyone by this measure (energy.)
PING!
