Reply to Russian President Vladimir Putin unwittingly accelerated the European Union’s green transition with his war in Ukraine, with the 27-nation bloc reducing its dependency on Russian fossil fuels and increasing its renewable energy use over the past year, the EU’s climate czar said Tuesday. by MrGuttFeeling
Wow what a spin. Doesn't matter if you increase that use when large parts of Europe, like Germany, is turning coal plants back on to make up for the loss of Russian energy. This is setting climate policy backwards, not forward.

Correct. The GOP has been dog whistling to these ppl for decades, very well knowing it's the slop desired for the trough. Now, after a few generations passed, Trump ripping off the mask and feeding them red meat, these people not only are emboldened but are in positions of power.

These days? As long as I remember (30+ years) I saw the Confederate flag around, at least in the very rural areas.

No exaggeration, 60+% of all global mining firms are Canadian. If mining is gonna happen, it will almost always be Canadian companies.
