Huh? EU Suddenly Declares Natural Gas, Nuclear To Be ‘Climate Friendly’
Technocracy News ^ | 7/7/2022 | John Hayward w/Breitbart

The European Parliament on Wednesday voted not to block a proposed rule that would designate gas and nuclear power plants as “climate-friendly.” The rule will take effect unless 20 of the European Union’s (EU) 27 member states band together to stop it.

The EU keeps a “taxonomy,” or rulebook, that designates which types of energy investment can be labeled “green.” The terminology is considered valuable for marketing purposes and to attract investors looking for climate-friendly projects. “Green” projects are also eligible for favorable government loans, and even outright government subsidies.

The taxonomy is supposed to prevent “greenwashing,” loosely defined as falsely claiming a project is climate-friendly, although radical Greens derisively use the term for every enterprise they deem insufficiently pure.

The law approved 328-278 by the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, on Wednesday will add numerous natural gas and nuclear energy projects to the taxonomy, beginning next year.

The EU has more common sense than Brandon and his absurd policies.

Because nobody believes starving to death is worth slowing the global temp by half a degree.

And that's for those buying the Man-made global warming myth.

True leftists believe that language was created to dupe the masses.

“But I don’t want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked. “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the Cat: “we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.”

Welcome to the EU!

The stupid recognition tipping point is taking place, even with non stop propaganda trying to hold it steady. Joe and Blackrock have sold energy policy initiatives around the free world using carnival barkers, Hollywood actors, emotionally disturbed pre-teens, and everyone who owns a biz jet that can cross the pond. And boy the ones who bought in on the scam pissed about Blackrock ruining their economies to prop up China’s portfolio with Blackrock.

I’d expect this to have a huge impact on wind and solar investments.

Wind and solar are niche solutions.
Natural gas for heating and nuclear (thorium?) for electric generation.

Amazing the clarity that springs forth when reality begins to overcome radical idiocy.
With nuclear they may also get a cheap aluminum and hydrogen.

Yesterday natural gas was harmful to the climate. Today it’s OK.

These people really know what they’re doing, right?
It’s all arbitrary.

Reality forced on them. NG is the cleanest burn there is. A few months ago l remember that treasonous idiot Kerry “putting the Natural gas producers on notice” that they were next.

Feeling hot hot hot. I got the song stuck now.

https://www.ecowatch.com/how-hot-would-it-get-if-we-burned-all-our-fossil-fuels-1882029410.html

It makes sense given that the earth was that warm when all the coal was being laid down in a planetary wide rain forest. It.takes swamps to make coal deposits they are global and millions of years thick the whole era was called the carboniferous because CO2 and temps were so high massive carbon deposits were put down. You couldn’t have dinosaurs today the planet is too cold and not enough biomass growing to support house sized animals.eating tonnes per day. You have to have massive rain forest of trees to feed animals of that size and the 02 levels need to be higher as well so they can breathe, that means a much more active biosphere and carbon cycle measured in percentages not parts per million. The earth was different but fine back then and if we went back to a hot house earth we would survive. Ice is a global killer not heat.
