Shell abandons huge biofuel project in Netherlands
If anyone wonders why Russia is winning in Ukraine, and indeed the west is now a forlorn hope in terms of being “the” global power or having any special influence with the rest of the world, that headline explains it.
Governments make many stupid decisions, and no doubt Putin has made many. But for good government, those bad decisions are haphazard occurrences within a general pattern of good decision making.
But, never in the history of humanity (at least as far as I can think of), have so many governments made so many bad decisions that now dominate their entire culture, economy and futures.
And, we’re not even yet seeing the real cost of this insane policy. The real cost is much longer term and far more damaging than a few small corps going bust or a few others losing a lot of money. Nut Zero is a systemic destruction of the economy to its roots and to its core.
The future historians of the west (if we can still afford such luxuries) will ALL look back at this era with total disgust at the way this present generation have so mindlessly squandered all they were handed on a plate by those who went before.
Even when government attempt to totally reverse the policy, the floodgates of destruction have already been opened and the flow cannot be stopped just by wishful thinking … indeed we needed the vibrant economy they destroyed, to give us the tools to turn it around, so much of the damage cannot be reversed, even though we are yet to see it.
