“Its only publicly documented activities have been transfers of $23 million to U.S. environmentalist groups that push policies that would hamstring surging American oil and gas production, which has hurt Russia’s energy-reliant economy.”Klein Ltd. is linked to Russian Oil companies in the article above from 2015. Russia’s reliance on energy as the foundation of its economy is the reason. The reduction of oil prices due to fracking in the United States was a huge blow. So, they sent money to the U.S. environmental groups to end fracking. A more recent article (Russian-linked groups donated to anti-frakking Green groups because they love the planet right?) from March 2022, indicates:
The SeaChange Foundation, in San Francisco has apparently given out “about $400 million” between 2007 and 2015 to “environmental groups that have worked to block fracking and pipeline construction that make natural gas development and distribution possible.”
I remember one of the first orders of business for the Biden administration was to end U.S. energy independence.
The ‘green’ folks have lied to us about climate change for years. Their alarming predictions have not come true and now we know who is paying them to keep saying these things to hamstring the U.S economy.
“Go green,” they say, thinking all our energy needs will run on solar or wind generated power.
“Stop all U.S. oil production,” they chant, thinking their green options will keep our country clean and strong when in actuality it is a security concern. One volcano exploding in some remote corner of the world could end the use of solar panels for a year or years and what do we use then? How would all the electric cars be recharged in traffic jams caused by blizzards or evacuations? Imagine ten or twenty miles of electric cars filled with frozen people.
And who would we rely on in case of an energy shortage/emergency? The one country that has not decided to go green, Russia.
And how much will they charge us then?
