Europe and other Western nations are facing a very real energy crisis right now. Sanctions have prompted Russia to stop supplying natural gas to Europe, exacerbating the self-inflicted energy crisis beginning with sweeping Net Zero energy regulations. Germany has been closing down its nuclear facilities for years, of their own volition, in order to ‘go green’. The Netherlands are no longer tapping into their vast natural gas reserves, under strict regulations and laws to stop using natural gas completely to meet net zero targets. All of the OECD countries are on the same path, including the U.S. On his very first day in office, Biden shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, a project that could have increased national energy security and potentially have driven down fuel costs. The Biden Administration likewise recently passed the Inflation Reduction Act, a bill aimed at fighting the alleged climate crisis and moving away from fossil fuels.
If energy security was the priority, our leaders would change course from an ideological green-at-all-costs stance to one that eases regulation and allows freer markets to find solutions. Instead, they are doubling down, tightening regulations, and suggesting we flatten the curve on electricity.
A short film on the energy crisis in Europe, and the collectivist nature of the West fighting climate change.
