    So that “drill baby drill” didn’t just backfire, it backfired spectacularly yo the point where I’m thinking that we still might have a chance to stop climate change. Thanks Cheetos!

    I absolutely love that the tyrannical bullying by the US is going to result in a globally-visible solar win.

    That being said, now I worry that this administration will simply bomb them from existence to keep it from happening.

    Putin & Trump will be sited as being responsible for the push, by the World, for more solar and electric energies. These oil dinosaurs are forcing people to choose green alternatives just to exist. Which is exactly what they both never wanted. hahahahaha

      Their alternative is literally to bankrupt their countries, because those stupid fucking idiots put too many eggs in one basket.

      Without oil/gas export, they can wave goodbye to their economies as they are today.

      Putin made sure Western countries currently don’t want to use Russian fossil products. Ukraine is making sure that they can never be used again.

    Poor US always on the wrong side recently, and with such good intentions too.

    This is gonna be the way. PR too, America’s second-least-favourite protectorate after Samoa (you forgot it existed, didn’t ya?). PR can shore up a bunch with solar power – and whatever one does for things like storm damage mitigation, the other can also.

    And let’s do haiti next, although that’ll need to be a whole new secure endeavour out of like an embassy basement or something that can’t be stolen or blown up.

      No, almost certainly not. We’re stupidly enforcing a sanction that was created before most of us were born.

      China is helping. They’re securing a future customer and buying the goodwill of a country for cheap.

      Probably violates sanctions. With your DHS being super racist and paranoid, best not upset them and get sent to the thunder dome.
