'We're not subsidizing Putin's war': Biden says he's hitting the 'main artery of Russia's economy' by banning all energy imports, insists he pumped MORE oil than Trump and says it's time to transition to clean energy
- Biden used their reliance on Russian oil and gas as a reason to accelerate the move toward clean energy, which he said 'will mean that no one has to worry about price at the gas pump in the future'
Biden announces a ban on imports of Russian energy over Ukraine
His administration has been under pressure to act since late last month when Russia's authoritarian leader Vladimir Putin ordered an unprovoked and bloody invasion of Ukraine.
Oh boy, looks like this war was a lucky windfall for the green new deal. I guess they were right all along

WH: Well...the fossil fuel industry already had 9,000 leases for drilling on federal lands.
REALITY:
Government blocks exploration with environmental impact studies.
Government blocks drilling by preventing improvement of infrastructure (ex/ roads) to perform operations.
Government coerces financial institutions to prevent them from lending money to fossil fuel companies
'We're not subsidizing Putin's war': Biden says he's hitting the 'main artery of Russia's economy' by banning all energy imports, insists he pumped MORE oil than Trump and says it's time to transition to clean energy
'But transforming our economy to run on electric vehicles powered by clean energy with tax credits to help American families winterize their homes and use less energy -- that will. That will help. And if we can, if we do what we can, it will mean that no one has to worry about price at the gas pump in the future.'

It's gonna backfire in a big way. I think they just think that turning off fossil fuels or making them prohibitively expensive is going to some how birth infrastructure over night or allow everyone to afford an electric vhicle. I just wonder how badly they will mess everything up with it and how many people are going to die because of it.

Their idea of what constitutes "better" is a lot different than mine, or most Americans.
I'm pretty sure their key metric is their ability to control the population.
Mine would include a significant amount of "liberty and prosperity" that I think they don't care about at all.

Nuclear winter is not a real thing. It is about as real as cars exploding when you shoot the gas tank. i.e. a hollywood fabrication.
A complete nuclear exchange that fires every deployed weapon would not put as much materiel into the atmosphere as a small explosive volcanic eruption.
We get those regularly.

As laughably wishful thinking as this is I've read some admittedly very biased sources about the state of readiness of the russian arsenal. I didn't realize that these weapons apparently need quite a bit of upkeep. Not that anybody is pretending that 100% of them wouldn't work.
Anyway, the most brutal sanctions to date: No Big Macs. I'm only half-kidding. A life without mcdonalds fries is hardly a life at all.

I'm completely unread on this topic.
Realistically what's the situation if putin rage quits and somehow convinces his generals to launch everything he can? Will smaller cities get it and what does it look like? How screwed are we all really? Obviously people in living in NYC skyscrapers are done but what about the rest of us.

Its orchestrated. How long does it take to put up a mall or bridge ? it takes years , not in the building, in the planning. yet people cant seem to think that things are planned out in advance .

I have no doubt , judging on the maintenance of their equipment that they may only get a few to work or go where they want. but still its not a place where we want to go.

It's quite an interesting topic.
Both western and eastern doctrine has, at least publicly, been to target military assets and ignore civilian ones.
There are of course significant military assets around most major cities, so that won't spare them. But you can rest easy in knowing that you were just collateral damage and the missiles weren't targetted at you.
Most of the scifi effects of a nuclear war in pop culture are about as real as the space combat in star wars. Space wizards with laser swords included.
While radiation will be an immediate concern in some locations, that will fade within a few weeks for all but the worst places.
The devastation of infrastructure and supply chain will be the real danger.

Not to mention where are all the cars going to come from. You cant find them now with the chip shirtages, nevermind if there is a run on hybrids. That will also flood the market with used vehicles and lower the trade in value. Our economy is already in the toilet and its going to get alot worse.

We should have 40,000 leases as in the past and now, even after a lease is approved, - exploration, - drilling, and - sale steps each need separate steps for *review, *comments, and then *approval before permits are granted AND process rules have been changed where now a single liberal judge can stop the process at any process or point and there are no federal appeals against the judicial over reach in stopping a fully vetted and approved sale.
There has not been a single new sale in the entire country since Biden took office because of liberal judges over reaching ... with the Administration sitting on their ass and not appealing.
In this Circus the energy sector can not invest in exploration, drilling, or sale since all their investment is lost.
