See how much you can accomplish when you can control the definition of words?

LOL

well, that’s one way to get around the environmental mandates they put themselves under

Next up, they’ll be painting the coal refineries green!

there is an indication that the earth keeps manufacturing oil, which would make it a renewable resource and quite an efficient at that.

nuclear power is the cleanest of energies... compared to the manufacturing of solar panels and windmills and the mining of the rare earth materials needed.

i hope it sticks.

Burning coal is releasing old plants to live again.

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”

“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that's all.”

Nuclear and natural gas classified as ‘green energy’. This will make construction of nuclear plants easier, bypassing a lot of bureacracy. Germany was trying to scuttle nuclear in particular but the recent energy crunch seems to have illustrated how much the reliance on solar and wind power have hurt the European economies.

Wouldn’t be easier to just declare all energy to be “green energy”? After all, all energy is based on plant life.

Well, okay. That’s not true with nuclear energy. But let’s not get bogged down in the details.

Don’t these people realize that we only have about 10 years to live?!

Didn’t they listen to the great science-tician Al Gore ?

And without the Georgia Guidestones being complete, how will our elites possibly rule over the wastelands?!

Europe

Amid energy crisis, EU says gas, nuclear can sometimes be ‘green’

BRUSSELS - European lawmakers voted Wednesday to move ahead with a plan to label some nuclear and natural gas power as “green” energy, a closely watched decision that could shape climate policy for years to come.

At issue is a European Union framework known as the “E.U. taxonomy” that is intended to guide investment toward projects that are in line with the bloc’s goal to be climate neutral by 2050.

In February, weeks before Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine, the EU’s executive arm presented a plan to classify some natural gas and nuclear power as “transitional” green investments in some circumstances, spurring a furious backlash.

The problem is that the politicians will change their feeble minds yet again. It's not about the science and which energy sources are least polluting. This is about the EU, but it's relatable to the Dims in the U.S. For me it's about putting my family and me in a position so that the Dims' energy political changes do less harm to us.

That's what solar on my roof brings to the table. So far the Dims haven't figured out how to get in between us and the sun. If anything they're trying to put a wedge between us and the Son.

No, no no! AOC declares we only had 12 years back in 2019, that means we only have 9 years left.

Gas as green.

That is going to cause the greenies a lot of butthurt, after decades of fossil-fuel-hate.

Who's behind this statement: the French, particularly Électricité de France, perhaps the most influential power utility in Europe.

Those 18 nuclear reactor sites operated by EDF is the only reason why Europe hasn't been plunged into blackouts constantly.

It’s natural. It’s organic. It’s coal.
