Why Europe’s Green Energy Disaster Should Scare Every Blue State Governor
The EU Is committing economic suicide for the climate change cult.

The European Union is offering Democrat-led states a cautionary tale in how to hamstring an entire economy in the name of green dogma — while failing to solve climate change. [emphasis, links added]
Blue states are sending delegates to Europe to learn how to implement climate policies, egged on by progressive think-tanks. But Europe, which has pursued “green” policies more fervently than even California, is a model of what not to do.
Obstinately placing virtue signaling over common sense, the EU is now promising to cut carbon emissions by 90% in just 15 years. This goes even further than its already foolhardy promise of a 55% cut by 2030.
While Europe knows it has to boost its anemic economic growth, it has consistently prioritized carbon cuts and ever more expensive energy, often through less reliable wind and solar power.
