An observation that should raise a lot of collateral questions. We have been told for decades that wind and solar would save the world. Yet here we are with the Russians invading their democratic neighbors and all of us are saying the great problem is going to be our access to petroleum. If the West continues to rely upon people who hate them to provide petroleum to them, and act as if wind and solar are a viable alternative, a real conflagration is much more likely--and frightening--than rising sea levels.
A major consideration in sanctions by NATO is the vulnerability of several NATO countries to Russian petroleum. This has compromised the NATO response. This was certainly known. If this vulnerability was known, why wasn't our alternative energy capacity developed and used to free up those countries from petroleum dependence and make NATO's position stronger?
