"EU Approves Natural Gas and Nuclear Power As Green - Climate Change Rules Are Destroying Economies"


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
Looks like some people in power in the EU has woken up to the fact - Europe does not have a tangible replacement for natural gas or nuclear energy at this time.  So unless they want the backlash from the public to continue and the energy crisis to grow - the EU needed to address this energy crisis that has been dividing the EU nations.  The European Parliament met on Wednesday and decided to label "gas and nuclear investments as green."  This is good news for the pro-fossil fuel industries and those who use natural gas/nuclear power - however, this new ruling does not go into affect until January 2023 - mid-winter for Europe and the rest of the northern hemisphere.  So, the energy crisis will continue to grow through 2022.

"The European Union voted on Wednesday to keep some specific uses of natural gas and nuclear energy in its taxonomy of sustainable sources of energy.  Europe's taxonomy is its classification system of defining "environmentally sustainable economic activities" for investors, policymakers and companies....While the region did vote to keep nuclear and natural gas in its green taxonomy, it did not give those sources of energy a free pass to be included in every situation.  Generally speaking, using natural gas to generate electricity or to heat or cool many homes at once will be considered sustainable, while other uses my be excluded.  They will have to be below certain emissions thresholds, and are only approved to 2030 or 2035, depending on the specific situation.  New nuclear plants using the most advanced technologies and modifications to extend the life of existing plants may be approved to 2040 or 2045.
 
The EU is still required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% at the end of the decade and to become climate neutral in 2050, in accordance with European Climate Law.  But Wednesday's vote shows that at the same time the EU wants to encourage private investment in natural gas and nuclear as the region makes the transition from fossil fuels, particularly coal, to clan energy."
Europe will count natural gas and nuclear as green energy in some circumstances
 
So this new ruling has made Russia "one of the world's largest exporters of green energy".  And NATO has blocked Russia's exports of green energy.  "The fraudulent, junk science narrative of "climate change" has caused western nations (including the USA) to dismantle much of their fossil fuel infrastructure over the last 20 years.  With Russia's energy exports suddenly cut off due to economic sanctions, Western Europe is finding itself mired in an unprecedented energy crisis with potentially catastrophic consequences.  Suddenly, European nations are panicking to try to rebuild their energy infrastructure.  But since they've officially blocked most funding for non-green energy projects, the only way to get funds to rebuild fossil fuel infrastructure is to declare fossil fuels to be "green".  And that's exactly what the EU Parliament just did with natural gas, delivering a devastating blow to the climate change narrative...It turns out that even "progressive" national leaders of European nations are being dragged back to reality, kicking and screaming, reluctantly admitting that fossil fuel energy is the only thing that can power modern economies at the moment...."
 
"Never forget that the "green" movement is part of the globalist depopulation agenda to starve billions of human beings to death while collapsing economies around the world.  Food scarcity is being engineered on a global scale by outlawing ranch animals (The Netherlands), burning down food production facilities (the USA), halting oil exploration and regulating fuel refineries out of existence.  It's all being done under the label of "green" but what it really accomplishes is the total collapse of modern human civilization."

What are the signs of this "globalist depopulation agenda to starve billions of human beings while collapsing economies around the world"? 
 
Here are two countries showing how disastrous these regulations/laws can be for a country:
 
Sri Lanka's economy recently has completely collapsed.  Why?  This is in major part due to the government banning chemical fertilizers in favor of organic fertilizers - farmers were not prepared for this major shift and lost entire crops - a food crisis followed. The Sri Lankan government destroyed this country with their 'green new deal'.  This had disastrous consequences on the economy and the country's food production collapsed. India recently purchased 65,000 tonnes of urea fertilizer for Sri Lanka.  This will be delivered soon.

"Sri Lanka is the canary in the coal mine of what's coming for the world.  What's happening in Sri Lanka right now will be happening in many areas across Western Europe and the USA by early 2023 if we don't urgently alter our course and restore the flow of food and energy."

And then we have The Netherlands - "Dutch farmers started massive protests in June following the passage in Parliament that sought to cut damaging pollutants drastically.  (The European "climate czars" have made the rules and the courts are enforcing them.) The measure intended to slash nitrogen oxide and ammonia could force farmers to reduce their livestock greatly or lose their livelihoods altogether...The farmers argue that they are being unfairly targeted, with other environmentally harmful industries not being hit nearly as hard by the new regulations." The livestock are producing too much urine and feces!  Nitrogen oxide and ammonia are polluting the atmosphere and needs to be cut in half by 2030.

The Netherlands has a "national plan":  "Starting Memorandum National Program for Rural Areas" - this has a huge impact on the agricultural industry in the country.  This was approved knowing it would have a disastrous affect on farmers - Mark Rutte, the Dutch Prime Minister, said, "but unfortunately, there is no choice, we have to bring down nitrogen emissions."

The new laws regulate emissions produced by livestock.  And because The Netherlands failed to meet it's "emission reduction targets" - the country was punished back in 2019 - no new permits for new homes and new roads!  In order to stop or slow the continued "punishments", The Netherlands is going after it's own $100 billion food export industry.. one of the biggest in the world.

"The Netherlands sits behind the United States as the second largest agricultural exporter in the world."
 
 
 
In the U.S., we've been reading about dozens of food storage and food warehouse fires, then the culling of millions of chickens and turkeys for "bird flu"-

Then in April 2022, "The Federal Bureau of Investigation Cyber Division issued a statement last week warning of potential ransomware attacks against the agricultural industry as more than a dozen food processing plants across the United States suffered damage from mysterious fires."

Will the Biden Administration lighten up on U.S. natural gas and nuclear power as energy sources?  I have seen no positive response to the EU's new law.

Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Obama Administration push on power plants to shift their energy sources from fossil fuels to renewables.  The decision does not block the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases, but it does mean the agency must prioritize a different set of tools to do it."

These globalists had to know that sanctioning Russia would backfire and not ending the Ukraine war as quickly as possible would affect the world grain (wheat, corn, barley) supply...right when farmers needed to plant their fields.  And the U.S./Biden was one of the BIGGEST sanction pushers on Russia. "Ukraine's grain exports have slumped since the start of the war as its Black Sea ports - the key route for shipments - have been largely closed off, driving up global food prices and prompting fears of shortages in Africa and the Middle East.

This move by the EU to declare natural gas and nuclear power "green" has shocked many and was booed by many in the European Parliament - it passed with a "328 to 278 margin with 33 abstentions.  The new law will become effective on January 1, 2023, by which time the European continent will be in the midst of the coming winter."  That's a bit late for this time of year.  So many European countries are desperately looking for sources of natural gas.
Natural Gas, Nuclear Go Green In The EU
 
Europe is being hit hard with natural gas supplies dropping off.  A strike in Norway shut down 3 gas fields (and possibly 6 more) that supply Europe, and there is a 60% decrease in deliveries from Russia due to "maintenance" that may not come back online after the maintenance is completed.
 
Natural gas prices are going up all around the world due to decreases in global supplies.
 
These 'globalist climate dictators' are saying all of these rules and regulations are part of the "unavoidable transition" necessary to getting clean air, land and water.  But the resulting fallout is less food for the people.  Crashing economies.  And an energy crisis of biblical proportions.
 
This new green European rule may come to late to help the Europeans.
