They are just carrying forward the work of the old Soviet Union, and I’m sure Saudi Arabia and OPEC as well.
We are so stupid in this country. These environmentalists are foreign paid enemies of our nation.

Most Americans are sleepwalking through daily life with no clue as to what’s going on around them or in the world.
Don't forget the People's Republic of China. Basically, every country on earth that gains by having the United States gut its industry and refuse to use its bountiful resources is bribing whoever they need to bribe. These people do not play nice and its good for business. Their business.
Armies of lobbyists who get all of these laws and regulations passed expect to be well paid. The politicians who pass the laws need expensive campaign contributions. Armies of lawyers who file endless lawsuits expect to be well paid, too. These traitors all expect a lot more than 30 pieces of silver.
The Sierra Club, the Environmental Resources Council, and other dens of traitors don't come up with this money from grandma who sends them ten bucks because she saw the photo of a sad looking polar bear in her AARP magazine.
And GE builds windmills, so they are fighting coal. Auto makers lobbied against streetcars. Airlines fight rail. Corn farmers support mandatory ethanol.
And Russians, who sell gas,, work to convince Europe not to frack for their own. The tech industry provides unlimited examples of trying to stifle competition through lobbying and changing public opinion.
This is just good business. Does the author expect Russia should sit meekly and watch as they see their biggest customer moving to stop using their product?
And our own political parties are utterly awash in Saudi money. That’s why we don’t get Keystone, and why coal is being shut down.
A day of honesty in the energy field would be interesting. But this isn’t just a Russian thing. This NATO leader is also being a typical duplicitous European here. The EU has been on over a decade long jihad to control Russian oil and gas by trying to place EU friendly people into political power in Russia.
Failing that, they now are whining that Russia is stopping Euro fracking.
Had the EU been able to install Khodorkovsky and his miniature giraffe in a Russian election, the EU would be forbidding fracking at home.
Follow the money, and never trust any stripe of European (including Russian in that category.)
