... China has a lot of 'rare minerals' that he wants the US to buy at bargain prices, they didn't do that. The Ukraine has a lot of minerals that he wants the US to buy at bargain prices but he hasn't stopped that war yet, despite many 24 hours, Greenland has the potential for a lot of minerals that the US wants at bargain prices. World security? No. (Minerals include things like the rare earth magnets that are needed in electric motors, China is taking them all for their windmills),

 

Taking a sparsely populated country like Greenland and with a president who doesn't care abut the environment looks to me like a plan to turn it into a massive open cast mine.

 

Security from Russia? Yeah, the Russians are struggling to make headway into The Ukraine, cannot support their international allies and are no match for the US, or even Europe. The US can base as much military in Greenland as they want without owning it. Security? That is a truthful as the Venezuelan drugs.

Be a bit chilly today without the evil fossil fuels, not a breath of wind up here today and -7 forecast again tonight. 
Mind you if we freeze deindustrialise and pay sky high energy prices others will surely follow our world leading example 🤔😳

Anyone seen that news item about the IEC officer who shot and killed the woman in her car ? A few witnesses refuting the claims that she " weaponised " her car . They refused a doctor access to the woman as well saying they had their own medical team but , they were no where in site .

Breezy around the E and SE coast. Plenty of turbines there.

You needed worry about it anymore, the golden hate goblin has pretty much put the nail in the coffin for a future where people don't rely on oil.

He doesn't understand it Mark, that a transition to renewables is not an on-off switch but a gradual change over and as the oil runs in our lifetimes we will be able to continue as we were. So every day when we use more oil that renewables he will be there demonstrating his ignorance. Just short of 50% of our electricity used last year we generated by renewable energy, with near 100 hours (4 days) that we ran only on renewable energy. A fact he never mentions for a comparison.

Depends on the angle you see, to me it looks like she wasn't aiming at anyone. Waved a car to pass her then went to follow it. If she was aiming she would have gone straight ahead rather than turning. The ICE agent was drawing his gun before she had started to move forward and before the other had reached in to try to stop her.

Where will we get all our plastic from when the oil industry gets turned into wind?
