Green Energy and a New Post Cold War Alliance

Green is the color of war by different means

The national push for green energy has little to do with stopping climate change -- instead it’s a desperate attempt for the US to create a new post-Cold War alliance.

US leaders, for instance, wish to sever the Middle Easts’ ability to deliver cheap oil and natural gas.

Likewise the US wants the world to convert to green energy to further cripple Russia.  

And if green energy were popular enough then the US, according to the wishes of the elite, would be able to force China to convert immediately and thereby cripple their allegedly evil economy.

Then, the elite thinking goes, the good old EU and the United States would rule once again.  

And then they’d be able to use regulations and the threat of sanctions to force the rest of the world into green energy submission.  

Then the US could starve citizens of oil and gas economies in order to force their governments to go green.

This is not without precedent.

US leadership did, after all, starve thousands of Iranians through sanctions without remorse.   And they’d be all too happy to do it again in order to celebrate their own green righteousness.

Which explains why nuclear isn’t considered a serious source of green energy. 

Because nuclear energy has little to no share of the domestic or global marketplace, and because regulators are less familiar with it as a technology, then it has less use as a tool to bring other regimes to their knees.

Apparently then being eco-friendly might not mean being so friendly after all.
