The worst and most stupid bit is this:
Speaking to crowds on Wednesday, vice president JD Vance said US allies are “suffering from this, frankly, more than we are.”
He claimed this was because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”
Vance continued:"As much as we’ve got to focus on getting these gas prices down, the reality is overseas they’re feeling it far worse than we did because we’ve taken the steps to protect our energy economy.
James Donald Bowman is a despicable malodorous twat that hopes to forget his birthname.
He needs to be reminded of it every day of his miserable life.
by stealing entire Venezuela’s oil industry after kidnapping Maduro, yet gas prices are still high.
Venezuela’s got big oil reserves but is limited in the extraction by older extraction tech, you’ll need a few years before extraction can be better, if big oil invests… I’m not sure the conditions are right (beyond the next 3 years)
what allies, do the US have any left ?
I drive my BYD EV charged off my solar panels here in Australia or ride my bicycle.
I have no idea what the price of gasoline or diesel is. I am sure I’ll see higher prices from freight but we’ve woefully under invested in electrified rail transport for freight and moving pole around the country so we are finding out after fucking around for decades.
“what allies, do the US have any left ?”
Russia and North Korea?
That’s what allies usually look for, suffering.
vance is a pathological liar. quite obvious just look at how often he makes these trivially refuted lies.
does he also have a brainworm now or is he just as dumb? Can he explain like in what correlation does the buildout of greenenergy make one more dependent on oil?
I can only assume the brain worms are being handed out like it’s season five of the Strain.
Because you need fossil fuels as feedstocks for everything material and physical? How do you fertilize crops with electricity?
Just because we use natural gas to make nitrogen fertilizer doesn’t mean we have to; you electrolyse water for your hydrogen instead and you’re off to the races
Using green energy for everything else frees up more fossil fuel for things that need it.
You realize please smart guy. Explain how you fertilize them with oil.
JFC are you truly this pig ignorant about how the world works? Do you think the grocery store is a Star Trek replicator?
Why do you think there are EIGHT BILLION people NOW when we had renewable wind and solar since the ancient Egyptians?

UFOs or massive MASSIVE amounts of fossil fuel inputs??
Bro… What?
That’s actually how we get a fair bit of artificial fertilizer. With petroleum and natural gas byproducts.

That being said, organic fertilizers aren’t gone, it’s just more expensive and less damaging to the environment in the long term
Wait, so the person who aligned himself with an obese orange painted child rapist and narcissistic pathological liar doesn’t know what he’s talking about? I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
I think I’m immediately going to go outside and smash up my solar panels, my battery system, and my heatpump. No, scratch that, I’ll drive my electric car over everything.
Then I’ll go and import a massive Ford F1CUNT mobile and roll moles!!Or not. It’s a tricky one…
I mean, yesterday we ran our entire house for free, charged the car for free, and exported a few quid of electricity back in to the grid…but, yes, oil and gas is definitely better for me and the climate.
Yes, I know but everyone can’t do what we’ve done but the quicker everyone can get away from fossil fuels the better.So FUCK OFF, COUCH FUCKING PAEDO ENABLER!
I hope you americans will hold this prick to account once the kiddie fiddling nonce finally dies.What allies?
Aliens
I have questions.
What steps did they take? They didn’t take any steps.
Who’s hurting more? The gas prices in US has increased by 50%. I don’t see that anywhere else. This is partially because we already pay a lot more in fixed taxes, so the gas prices alone doesn’t cause the same kind of spikes. Of course we still pay more for it as usual, but the current increase of about 10% doesn’t hurt us as much as it hurts the Americans.
What green energy scams is he talking about? Green energy works. I wouldn’t call it a stable price, as it fluctuates like the wind, but on average I’m paying less for charging my car than I did last year, and I’m expecting the price to drop. It was always cheaper than gas per milage, still is and certainly will be even more so in the future. Big scam huh.
“allies” are more likely to have renewable power sources than the US…and functional, widespread public transport systems
because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”
More green energy focus would have meant hurting a lot less, although last 2-3 years has seen EU fossil electricity drop 10% each year. The first shock to EU energy prices was supporting US war on Russia, including the sabotage of Nordstream. LNG from the US is very expensive, and produces more emissions than local coal.
A new spike from US/Israel current contempt for the world is definitely US extortion’s fault, and not “too much green energy” fault. Current NG prices in Europe make just the fuel cost of NG electricity between 12c-24c/kwh (depending on peaker vs expensive plant)
EU member state incompetence has led to emergency measures of cutting fuel taxes (please use more fuel to drive price higher) instead of massive solar orders and emergency projects.
What does it help him when others suffer more? So USA is still suffering, but less? Great for them…
That’s the Republican’s whole shtick “Vote for us, we’ll make those people you don’t like hurt worse than we make you hurt”
That’s religions ultimate schtick: Suffering with the reward after you die. Enough zealots and fanatics and you can commit the worst atrocities the world has ever seen.
Yep it’s always the same story, accept your shitty situation while we sit atop gold thrones and super yachts. You’ll be reward in the next life, we promise 🙄
Uh, one way to frame you fucking up i guess?
Yep, give loser MAGA some hope that they’re not the bottom of the barrel they really are.
This all just plays into the kind of people they are. “You’re suffering, but look at how much worse that poor asshole over there is suffering. Don’t you feel great!?”
Stupid fucking prick
He’s not stupid, his voting base is.
That’s a bit too polite for me
What’s worse is that people actually believe him.
What’s even worse is that they think that it’s a good argument by him.
Eh, I don’t know… These MAGA’s are more monsters than people at this stage.
he did reaped the popes soul.
