Stop These Fuelish Zero Energy Policies

Russia is one of the world’s largest producers of petroleum, natural gas, and coal.

In Europe, despite decades of taxes on hydrocarbons, subsidies for green energy and net zero plans, hydrocarbons still supply 70 percent of EU energy.

And Russia supplies the lion’s share of this: 40 percent of EU gas, over 25 percent of their crude oil and nearly half of their coal comes from Russia.

Russia is also a big exporter of energy-dependent metals such as iron, steel and aluminium, and is the world’s third biggest producer of gold, the money for troubled times.

Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, was the birthplace of Russia twelve centuries ago, and many Ukrainians speak Russian and feel Russian.

If Western hostility to Russia causes more Russian fuels and food to go East to China, Siberia, the Koreas, Japan or Taiwan, there will be a mad scramble by Europeans to replace them.

Australia is vulnerable.

Before we celebrate how the brave Australian Terrier baited the Russian Bear and the Chinese Dragon, we should first check Australia’s fuel supplies.

(Feel free to use this cartoon with no alterations.)

Australia has limited domestic production of oil, rapidly falling refining capacity and only three to four weeks supply of fuels like diesel, petrol and avgas.

Despite having extensive sedimentary basins and world class geological skills Australia buys most of its crude oil and refined products.

Russia remembers defeating two European “Grand Armies” – both Napoleon and Hitler were beaten by cold weather and the lack of fuels and food. Napoleon’s horses ran out of hay, Hitler’s Panzers ran out of fuel, and both invaders faced starvation and frostbite.

“The war was decided by engines and octane.”
Joseph Stalin

“Above all, petrol governed every movement.”
Winston Churchill

Putin is unlikely to fear energy competition from Danish windmills, Spanish solar panels or Australian ethanol.

Russia is building gas pipelines while Biden and his green friends closed the Keystone XL pipeline (to deliver oil from Canada) and declined to renew US gas drilling leases.

USA even became an importer of Russian crude oil and petroleum in 2021.

Russia has a huge landmass. It is the world’s largest exporter of wheat and a big exporter of barley, corn, sunflower and canola.

Anything that impacts Russia’s exports of food or fuels will cause chaos in world energy and food markets.

Just one wicked winter may destroy Russia’s enemies once again.

Australia needs to dump its fuelish green energy policies and ignore its woke green capitalists.

Otherwise it will become collateral damage in the coming world energy/food crisis.

And if the two super-powers of Eurasia do decide that this is the time to enlarge their empires, we will not stop them with net zero energy, wind power, battery-powered tanks, a biofuel navy or submarines on the never-never.

    No doubt Russia could have stormed thru Ukraine quickly. But perhaps the slow burn is to push up energy and food prices. This increases Russian wealth more than the cost of the war..armies paid for anyway . Just sayin maybe …not tacit report for invasion, etc.

    It’s inexcusable to keep punishing your citizens with high energy cost. Australia should be buying Russian oil and future contracts. All of SE Asia has made the same foolish choices. Mexico appears to be one of the countries that are thinking beyond a jerk reaction.

    Get a cushion with some salt in it and write on it, sack of salt cushion.
    Next time you are on the internet, listening to the radio or watching the news, HOLD it tight. Did anyone even go to the Russian sites for their news? Or did they go to Southfront?
    How about accessing globalresearch ca?
    Russia has lots of reasons to go into Ukraine. Our armed violent bloody illegal coup in Ukraine in 2014 has caused more loss of life, during and after it, than his fully armed incursion.
