But they didn't dupe just Europe; look who else is trying to slow (even promised to eliminate) petroleum development in the United States. Whose been trying to make phone calls to OPEC to increase production?

Yeah it does, except for the fact that Trump did just the opposite. Darn, there goes that theory AGAIN.

And for leftist in here that refuse to believe they have been duped in America by Russia here’s a Hillary quote


“We were even up against phony environmental groups, and I’m a big environmentalist, but these were funded by the Russians to stand against any effort, ‘Oh that pipeline, that fracking, that whatever will be a problem for you,’ and a lot of the money supporting that message was coming from Russia," Clinton said, according to excerpts leaked by WikiLeaks in 2016.

Its not a surprise that the climate change cult is easily duped. Its become a religion after all because of the incessant (but always false) doomsday predictions of the MSM.

Explain to the class how environmentalism led to dependence on fossil fuels.

And this, girls and boys, is a strawman fallacy, an argument of piss poor logic and a poor sign of debate skills.

That “straw man” is the stated premise of the OP, as well as the premise of your post.

Oh stop your stupid ****ing lies. If you people didn't have your mouths firmly planted around the Oil and gas companies Ds, we could have had better green energy, better mass transit, better electric car technology so we weren't reliant on oil from shitty countries

Sure, the groups advocating for less reliance on fossil fuels are responsible for more reliance on Russian fossil fuels.
they are so unbelievable pathetic. The level of trolling is so bad, its almost comical

In fact they are, because massive reduction in fossil fuel use is impossible without marked reductions in quality of life, people are happy to say how much they support reducing fossil fuel use as long as it doesn’t effect them personally.

So the result is governments ban energy projects in their own country, and in order to not create a downward spiral in quality of life they simply now import them.

There is no need for this vulgar perversion, it makes you look ignorant.

Also you are ignorant because apparently you haven’t looked at a list of countries where the minerals to build the electric car batteries come from.,

So Hillary is a good person now?

I am getting really confused by all the contradictory rightwing messaging.

It reminds me of my kid when he was 2 and just having a meltdown at a playdate.

"Are you tired? You wanna go home?"

"NO!"

"You wanna stay and keep playing?"

"NO!"

Haha. It's always NO!- no matter what the question.

It’s not a question of whether Hillary is a good person, the email would show she’s fully aware the eco movement in American is largely a fraudulant fringe movement

Navigating our way out of oil dependence requires careful juggling between our current dependence on oil and investing in alternative sources to become more independent of them going forward. Legitimate eco movements know this and are willing to work with it. Fringe movements are those on either side. Those are what Hillary was referring to.

Why is the assumed default position "Navigating our way out of oil dependence"?

At the same time Trump was petting Putin for 4 years, and held back aid to Ukraine.

Great guy eh

Fossil fuels gave you all you have today!
The country can not function in 2022 with fossil fuels.
Let the rant start.

Because she is making a distinction between legitimate environmental groups and the ones Russians were funding.

Fossil fuels gave us the invasion of Ukraine. If not for the billions from the sales of their gas and petroleum, Russia wouldn’t have had the war chest to invade their neighbors.

If Europe had relied on renewable resources as well as nuclear energy, this wouldn’t have happened.

Confused? Russia attacked on Bidens watch not president Trump.
And Russia did the same thing when Biden was VP? See what is happening?
