John Kerry Pushes Green Energy, Says Putin Cannot Exploit Wind, Sun

Wendell Husebø 13 Apr 2022

Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry on Wednesday pushed renewable offshore energy, claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot manipulate the wind and sun.

“Now is the time to accelerate the transition to an independent and a clean energy future. President Putin cannot control the power of the wind or the sun,” Kerry said at the Our Oceans conference in the pacific island of Palau, according to Reuters.

Kerry, a global-warming activist who flies gas-guzzling jets, said Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is just one more reason the island nation should substitute fossil fuels with more expensive green energy. Kerry suggested Putin has raised the price of gas through his war in Ukraine, meanwhile Kerry made no mention of the United States’ war on American energy.

Soaring gas prices have fueled inflation. Gas prices increased about $1.00 before Putin invaded Ukraine. Since the invasion, gas prices have increased by about 70 cents.

The White House has continually claimed the price hikes in the U.S. are a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and have nothing to do with President Biden’s war on American energy independence.

On Monday, the White House blamed 40-year-high inflation on Putin. But the data says otherwise. Jason Furman, a professor at Harvard and a Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, shared charts on Twitter showing U.S. inflation to be “much higher” than that seen in the “Euro area”:

Kerry is still very much a douchebag.

Our current energy crisis is driven by current US Government policy - not Mad Vlad.

I'm sure deep in the bowels of the Kremlin, Putin ever the James Bond villain, is designing a weather machine to control the wind and a satellite array that can block sunlight.

You know what else can interfere with sun and wind patterns - volcanism and astrophysics - which are beyond man's ability to control.

How can coal be bad when it's made from plants, like bio-diesel and faux meat?

Kerry  thinks Putin has more power than technological limitations and mother nature?

First, the statement is not true.  Russia controls much of the rare earths and other resources needed to make an energy infrastructure for so-called "green energy" and therefore Putin can, in fact, exploit it.

Second, the statement is also irrelevant.  Putin cannot exploit U.S. domestic oil resources or nuclear resources.  Since those resources will provide us with the energy we need in a much shorter time frame than the so-called "green energy" resources, those are the resources we should be focusing on, not the pie-in-the-sky "green energy" boondoggle.

Kerry always takes precautions.
