On the news this the morning, a man from UK was interviewed. He said Putin is behind all of our Global Warming Programs.

He said that Putin helps to fund global warming initiatives for PROFIT. He mentioned specifically that in the UK, fracking is no longer allowed because of possible earth tremors.

He said there is enough natural gas under the shale in the UK to heat all of their homes. But Putin doesn't [i]want them to have independent sources of energy[/i]. He said that Putin wants them to rely on Russian oil and gas.

Unfortunately, I didn't write down the fellow's name, and it takes 24 hours for Fox news shows to appear on the internet, so...no source for FOX, but I did find this:

Deliberate distraction/misinformation for my money.

Whilst theoretically independent, gas and oil extracted "in the UK" goes into the market, not to the UK, and the UK volume would make no discernable difference to the market price.

The clue is Farage (a.k.a. Big Energy and Putin's paid mouthpiece) is calling for a return to fracking. He's no altruist, there's no way on God's green Earth he would do that unless his backers were supportive.

Why then? Well,a debate around/increase in fracking distracts focus from greener, renewable initiatives and net zero, which really DO hurt Big Energy/Putin's Russia.

...smoke and mirrors.
