Russia will not make any changes neither does India or China

Top 10 polluters
China, with more than 10,065 million tons of CO2 released.
United States, with 5,416 million tons of CO2.
India, with 2,654 million tons of CO2.
Russia, with 1,711 million tons of CO2.
Japan, 1,162 million tons of CO2.
Germany, 759 million tons of CO2.
Iran, 720 million tons of CO2.

I don’t understand. How will people who can’t afford electric cars buy one. How can you have solar panels if you can’t afford them? Will you be forced to have no utility? I grow tired of all the rhetoric. Just my opinion , 1 year is all that has passed we were doing so well. And we are now,living the Democratic nightmare. Under President Trump emission were improving and weren’t suffering https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/pre...ur-nations-air

It's also a part of The Great Reset, brought to us by the World Economic Forum. Sky-high energy prices are exactly what they need to convince everyone to go "green"...

Assuming we haven't destroyed each other by then, the rest of the world will be at our mercy.

That's my take on it, too.
Pay a little extra for other people's oil now, charge a lot for ours later.

Of course, that's great from the oil owners' viewpoint; consumers--including Americans--will just have to keep paying more and more.

1. The US doesn't produce nearly enough oil to cover its consumption

2. The bulk of US oil production is from fracking. That oil is too light to be useful, and must be blended with heavier oils.
