Where Would Freezing America Be Without Fossil Fuels?
The Polar Vortex has brought some brutally cold weather to most of the United States in the last few weeks. The vortex is a large area of low pressure and extremely cold air that surrounds the North and South Pole in the upper atmosphere.
Sometimes, as has happened recently, it breaks down, allowing polar air to spill southwards. It is not an unusual phenomenon. Incidentally, this latest outbreak has been responsible for the wet weather we have had in Britain for the last couple of weeks.

Without Fossil Fuels we would all be in the STONAGE, but the phoney planet saving eco socialists would be running around with placards telling us we are running out of stones.
There is no CLIMATE CRISIS, it is all pure POLITICS. The UN and WEF Politics called Sustainable Development that says we in the wealthy west are using up too many resources and must stop doing that. This all starts with ENERGY and we are to get rid of affordable reliable energy (fossil fuels) and fob our citizens off with unaffordable, unreliable energy (renewable’s)——-The Political Class of traitors all over the western world are happy to oblige, all except TRUMP.
Gas fluctuated between 135 and 270 GW, i.e. the equivalent of one hundred large coal plants on the scale of Longannet in Scotland (now gone, of course).
At least Americans have vast resources of trees to burn, if necessary.
We don’t.
Doesn’t Drax get its wood from Louisiana?
Drax gets its wood by chopping down regular trees, NOT unwanted biomass as they fraudulently claim. They’re just gaslighting us, and the naive believe them!
But … but … weren’t we told by our “moral superiors” twenty-five years ago that by now (the 2020s) there wouldn’t be snow, and that if we didn’t believe the prediction we were heretics (“deniers” was the word used).
In many US states freezing to death in Winter is what they voted for so why stand in their way? The Far Left Soros Governor of New York, Hochul, has punted the court ruling that they publish how they are going to reduce emissions by this month by appealing the decision. Conveniently this is likely to put it beyond the mid-terms where she goes for re-election and the Democrats still need some real votes to go alongside their voter fraud. But the problem will remain – having set an emissions reduction in law, the Greenies have demanded regulations to achieve it. The other alternative as set out by the ruking judge was to change the law. The NY state government ave been given the costs of the required reduction and even they realise how damaging they are. FOI requests for this information have been denied.
