It’s The Energy, Stupid! Putin Is Taking Advantage Of The Left’s Climate Obsession – The Lid

We’re seeing now what happens when there is a clash of priorities between left-leaning Western democracies and the leader of a petrol state who sees an opportunity to increase his country’s oil and gas production. He’s doing this because the demand continues to be high, prices are on the rise, and there are no viable alternatives because the environmentalists on the left won’t even consider nuclear power. There’s a lot of money to be made, and Putin thinks Russia should be the beneficiary of it.

Western Leaders are absolutely, unswervingly committed to an ideology that has left them vulnerable to Russia and China, who don’t share the West’s views on energy policy.
