E.U. elections offer climate and energy policy lessons for U.S.

For years, particularly in Western Europe, Green activists and left-leaning politicians successfully frightened voters into accepting rising prices and cumbersome lifestyle changes to battle a so-called climate change “crisis.”

But this seems to have abruptly ended in 2024.

The recent EU elections last month suggest that the Green strangulation of jobs and living standards is finally weakening.

Geert Wilders’ Netherlands conservative and farmers alliance won six seats in the EU Parliament, while the leftist Green and Labour Party alliance fell to eight seats.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

One huge word is missing from this headline:  SHOULD

However, our institutions of learning K-12 through college, aren't going to let it happen.  News media and politicians won't either. **nononono*
