An energy crisis is gripping the world, with potentially grave consequences

[Anti Federalist]

And these gaslighting, communist, twinkle toed, cocksuckers actually have the nerve to sound surprised.

Hey assholes, when you push governments around the world to ban, restrict, fatwa and decree "War On Fuel", what the flying fuck do you think is going to happen?

Investors are going to scatter and new exploration is going to collapse, and supplies will collapse behind them.

Three years ago this wouldn't have mattered much, as the US was energy independent.

You wanted this.

And billions of assholes around the world voted for this.

So, now you got what you want.

Fuck you, hope you starve to death in the cold, shitstains.


An energy crisis is gripping the world, with potentially grave consequences

Energy is so hard to come by right now that some provinces in China are rationing electricity, Europeans are paying sky-high prices for liquefied natural gas, power plants in India are on the verge of running out of coal, and the average price of a gallon of regular gasoline in the United States stood at $3.25 on Friday — up from $1.72 in April.

As the global economy recovers and global leaders prepare to gather for a landmark conference on climate change, the sudden energy crunch hitting the world is threatening already stressed supply chains, stirring geopolitical tensions and raising questions about whether the world is ready for the green energy revolution when it’s having trouble powering itself right now.

Lebanon reportedly in complete blackout:

Energy crisis grips the world: Lebanon runs out of power, India warns its coal-fired plants could go dark in just three days, blackouts hit China and gas prices soar in Europe

• Lights go out in Lebanon as biggest two power stations shut due to fuel shortage
• Energy network unlikely to be restored for 'several days', according to officials
• Meanwhile, some Chinese provinces are rationing electricity amid crisis
• Europeans are paying exorbitant prices for liquefied gas and India is low on coal
• Comes as world leaders prepare to meet in Glasgow for the Cop26 summit

Countries around the world are feeling the brunt of the global energy crisis.
Some Chinese provinces are rationing electricity, Europeans are paying exorbitant prices for liquefied gas and Lebanon has run out of centrally-generate electricity.
Furthermore, India is close to running out of coal and in the United States, the price of a gallon of regular gasoline was $3.25 on Friday, up from April's $1.27.
As the global economy works to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, the sudden energy crisis is putting a strain on supply chains and stirring geopolitical tensions.
What's more, as global leaders are preparing to meet for the landmark Cop26 in the hope of taking steps towards easing climate change, questions are now being raised about the plausibility of a global green energy revolution.
The crisis has been blamed on a perfect storm of factors, primarily the economic recovery from the pandemic coming after countries spent less on the extraction of fossil fuels over the last 18 months.
An unusually cold winter in Europe that drained the continent's energy reserves, a series of hurricanes that shutdown Gulf oil refineries, worsening relations between China and Australia and less wind over the North Sea have also contributed.
'It radiates from one energy market to another,' Daniel Yergin, author of The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations, told the Washington Post.

'Governments are scrambling to get subsidies in place to avoid a tremendous political backlash,' he said.

'There's a pervasive anxiety about what may or may not happen this winter, because of something we have no control over, which is the weather.'

Gee, after decades of vilifying the life-sustaining energy we develop from coal, natural gas and petroleum, brow-beating and shaming companies that produce these natural resources (all while providing some of the best-paying blue collar jobs in the world), and goading them into developing "sustainable" (so much for that), "eco-friendly" (heh, check out a rare earth element mining operation once, then get back to me. Oh also let me know what you're gonna do with all those solar panels and wind sails once they reach the end of their lives), "renewable" (buuttt... not exactly "readily renewable, which is kind of important to keeping the lights turned on, or your hospital equipment running, or for that matter manufacturing almost ALL of the things that you see around you, from plastics, to paints, to synthetic fibers - wool is very comfortable, you know - to fertilizers, and on and on and on...) "energies", and insisting that we convert away from these things in a completely unmanageable timeframe, who woulda thunk it?

Yeah, let's listen to an autistic, spoiled, scold of a little girl from a country that would see millions of deaths in the lights went out before winter was a month old.

You wanted this.

Uh huh.

The government never, ever says, it ain't broke but we're going to fix it until it is broke, to provoke a reaction so you'll let us implement a "solution" you'll really hate." It never says that.

Yeah, they should know better. And people who said nice things about Trump should have known he'd conspire with Pelosi to suspend the Constitution, too.

People want the electric to go off. Not. People got suckered. There's a sucker born every minute.

 

[A Son of Liberty]

Do you know the age of that chart? I believe the share of NG electricity generation is a good bit more than that, now.

They were either too lazy to understand it, or too stupid to figure it out. Of course they don't want the power to go out. But they voted for it anyway.

Try to tell progs that this "clean energy" push was sponsored by Big Oil, to sell more carbon-rich, CO2 producing natural gas, and they won't believe you. But it's true.

And even that pie chart is designed to downplay that. Natural gas isn't petroleum? Then why is it always found in oil wells?

I'm not following you... the Appalachian is the largest natural gas play in the world and there isn't a single major operating up here.

And NG is not always found in oil wells...

Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

No, I don't much believe in letting suckers completely off the hook. But the bulk of my animosity belongs to the con men.

And NG is not always found in oil wells...

Are you saying, "Natural gas is found in places other than oil wells"? Because I was saying, "Oil wells contain natural gas.". And I'm pretty darn sure we're both right.

 

[A Son of Liberty]

Well stated, sir.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to acptulsa again.

I had a discussion with an "environmentalist" not too long ago, explaining to him all of the products that come from petroleum and NG, and he was absolutely dumb-founded. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that someone who'd taken such a hard stance hadn't at least taken the time to understand the very basics of what he was espousing.

But at one point I was a statist, so I guess I get it.

 

[A Son of Liberty]

Are you saying, "Natural gas is found in places other than oil wells"? Because I was saying, "Oil wells contain natural gas.". And I'm pretty darn sure we're both right.

Yes, that's correct. Oil wells *often* contain NG - in the Permian it's typically flared off because they're primarily drilling for petroleum, and don't have the ability to do anything with it (i.e., there is no takeaway capacity). That said, I don't know enough about straight petroleum basins to say that NG is always present in petroleum wells.

The Appalachian is almost exclusively a NG play, some areas produce wet gas, most of it is dry gas, and in a small area of Ohio there is petroleum. But the majority of the Appalachian is a dry gas play.

 

[acptulsa]

Maybe my knowledge base being mostly centered on the Cushing, Drumwright and Glenn Pools has left me ignorant of the exceptions, but the impression I got was natural gas is not only a given in oil wells, but the reason they gush (or try to) when tapped. And that it's what these engines run on, for the simple reason that it's right there and available:

In any case, we know who benefits when natural gas is promoted, and greenies are encouraged to be ignorant of the carbon content and call it clean and green. Big Oil benefits.

Yeah, I'm not sure. My knowledge is mostly about the Appalachian basin, with a little insight in the Permian, Powder River and DJ.

It's entirely possible that the reason they gush is because of NG. I've *assumed* it is because of the release of pressure. I would also guess that fracked petroleum would never gush because the petroleum is encased in the shale, and not even when they're being fracked, because of well control measures that are in place. But again, I don't have a ton of experience in such basins.

In any case, we know who benefits when natural gas is promoted, and greenies are encouraged to be ignorant of the carbon content and call it clean and green. Big Oil benefits.

I'm not aware of many/any environmental groups who promote NG as a "clean and green" energy source? At least not in the last 10 or 15 years, anyway. And I'm not sure what's wrong with the promotion of NG - it's a wonderful natural resource, it does produce cleaner energy than coal, and the byproducts we derive from it are nearly incalculable. In fact, between NG and petroleum, the modern world is literally impossible without them.

 

[Snowball]

Any "low supply" is all contrived. Not only by the Saudis who are puppets of London and Tel Aviv, but by American and Canadian -- and European drillers who lowered their rig counts intentionally over the last 6-9 months all to drive up prices so that their contracts could pay off obscene amounts of cash. There is also an effort to make carbon fuels more costly to prop up the "green" projects. Nothing is connected with economics -- it is all a conspiracy to enslave governments and their citizens.

It's all manipulated by contracts. Big Finance houses collude and conspire to maximize profit separated from all reason and the excuses in both directions are parroted by their sycophants in the press. Natural Gas is not worth 7x what it was a matter of months ago based on economy. Oil was not worth $150 barrell or $0 a barrell ever based on economic principles.

Just like "peak oil" was propaganda, so was the Covid crash. These are all done intentionally by a tiny group behind the scenes. Understand when Oil was over $100, gas cost like 3 cents a gallon in Iraq. Gas was basically free of charge in Libya under Ghaddafi. Right NOW gas costs 15 cents per gallon in Venezuela. This is why the NWO wages war against independent countries who refuse to sell out. Chavez was demonized for giving free oil to Massachusetts poor residents.

To be FREE, markets have to be set FREE FROM contrivances of the global oligarchy. The best way to do this is to make price standards within a range determined by true economic principles, not collusive plotting. Boundaries have to be set. Moreover, a ban on futures market participation in necessities of all kinds should be enacted. This would restrict the futures markets to those whom IT WAS DESIGNED to protect, acting as insurance, to the producers.

If you think your ideology is opposed to this, it's high time to reconsider who is responsible for inculcating your ideology, why they did so, and CUI BONO. That's because it's been so many years, and now, your ideology is acting only to propel the Marxist dependency plan.

Once they did, yes, because acid rain was a problem and gas is low sulfur. Now they don't, but the mainstream media promotes it, for electricity, cng powering vehicles, and any way they can. It isn't hard to see why:

Don't apologize. The campaign to make that change happen is behind this damned mess. Thanks for helping bring it to light.

Whatever problems it created, it has certainly been successful.

It may be self centered but my concern is keeping the hydroelectric dams and coal mines operational. What the coastal cities do when this shit-show comes to a head is their concern.
