Biden Wants to Move Blackout-plagued South Africa Off Coal, Its Main Energy Source
Breitbart ^ | 12/16/2022 | Jordan Dixon-Hamilton

Posted on 12/16/2022 3:50:47 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

President Joe Biden pledged Wednesday to move South Africa off coal, its main source of energy, toward green energy sources — despite the fact that the country lacks the power to keep its electricity on 24 hours per day.

Speaking to a gathering of African leaders in Washington, DC, Biden promised his administration’s joint efforts with Africa would include “$8 billion in public and private finance to help South Africa replace coal-fired power plants with renewable energy sources and develop cutting-edge energy solutions like clean hydrogen.”

In fairness to Biden, South Africa will no longer need power generation at all, nor will the rest of Africa, once everyone has moved to the U.S. This will not happen overnight, but given the speed with which Biden is ramping up immigration, the end of a second Biden term might be a reasonable working goal.

America has something called “victory disease”. We won WW II decisively. That win gave us the supposed right to lecture everyone about everything, everywhere.

No matter that we’ve been wrong about most things since 1945. We still continue to lecture, bribe, and spend.

Trump understood that this was wrong. That annoyed the Deep State. So of course Trump had to go.

Agreed. Except the white S Africans will be excluded. Biden and team are at this time unaware they exist. Just as well.

“No matter that we’ve been wrong about most things since 1945. We still continue to lecture, bribe, and spend.”

I was ok with being king-of-the-hill during the Cold War as we had a real enemy who was doing the same, but after that, it was simply a bunch of sick people in our government that wanted revenge for their long-held grudges - like Victoria Neuland’s grandfather being kicked out of Ukraine 115 years ago, so now she has to start a war with Russia. Why the hell is it so hard for some to let go, and while she may not know it, she’s not ‘punishing’ those who kicked out her grandfather, since they’re long dead.

I am beginning to think he hates all of humanity or wants to reduce the population by ninety percent to save Gaia with only rulers and a small number of serfs and slaves.

That’s exactly what it is. His misadministration is implementing the WEF/UN/NWO/LWO Agenda 2030 ideology.

What business is it of the resident of the white hut to offer an opinion on power sources for Africa?

South Africa used to possess nuclear weaponry. What changed?...

Rhodesia used to be the breadbasket of Africa. Rhodesia used to have a stable currency. What changed?

Chicago used to be a relatively safe city. What changed?

White minority government got thrown out in favor of black majority government. The White minority was fit for self-governance. The black majority, not so much.

Rumor has it that they gave the nuclear weapons they didn’t have to Israel, who doesn’t have any either.
