Yeah but remember how they absolutely weren't going to blame this on Ukrainians and how this was just an unfortunate and unforeseen terrorist attack? At this point it's 100% obvious that at best they fully knew the attack was coming (thanks to actually functional, not-filled-with-clowns intelligence services warning them) and chose to let it happen because they could use it politically to attack Ukraine and shore up Putin's support.

Johnson Outlines Plan for Ukraine Aid; House Could Act Within Weeksquote:Speaker Mike Johnson has begun publicly laying out potential conditions for extending a fresh round of American military assistance to Ukraine, the strongest indication yet that he plans to push through the House a package that many Republicans view as toxic and have tried to block. Republicans (at least some of them) might finally stop blocking aid

This time before the next presidential election is the last hurrah of the Republicans who remember the "military-industry complex good" and "anti-Russia better", and the Trumpists who try to elect the first emperor, who basically is pro-Russia by either actively working against, or neglecting to help Ukraine, European parts of NATO, or anyone in EU. If and hopefully when Trump loses, all sorts of hell breaks loose, hopefully it just causes the GOP to split in half. If Trump wins, its WW3 time in Europe because Lithuania will be invaded the moment when it is certain that US troops will not intervene even if they still are in Europe.

HappyHippo posted:Johnson Outlines Plan for Ukraine Aid; House Could Act Within Weeks Honestly of all the things to tie it to LNG exports isn't a bad one, they still should just pass the aid alone. I thought that was a turbo dumb move, and not to debate climate much, prototypical of a lot of the movement (and other movements in general) it's another letting the perfect get in the way of the good/ Sure we want to stop using fossil fuels but LNG is way loving better than coal. Also US LNG exports directly gently caress Russia, not to mention it's just a good thing to do since Europe closed out a lot of Russian gas at a significant economic hit.

Oscar Wilde Bunch posted:Sure we want to stop using fossil fuels but LNG is way loving better than coal. It actually does not seem to be, a good primer on the issues: https://youtu.be/K2oL4SFwkkw Tl;dw: leaks are self reported and gas companies have no incentive to report them, the approximation is that overall LNG has actually released more greenhouse emissions than it has saved, shipping it makes it even worse. The current ban is basically: no more construction for LNG export infrastructure will be permitted "until the climate effects are analyzed".

The ban is on *new* permit approval on LNG export infrastructure. Not even construction. Right now the US is the biggest exporter and *approvals* that have already been granted will increase export capacity at least 2x.

mobby_6kl posted:Will it be enough to meet the demand in the near future? I don't know off the top of my head, but e.g. they're still building new terminals and plants: My math may be way off, but the US has permitted export capacity (ie. poo poo that will get built) up to 41 billion cubic feet per day. That's slightly more than 1 billion cubic meter per day. So about 10 times Germany's import capacity. 5 times Germany's planned 2028 import capacity. What bothers me is all this talk about permanent infrastructure for what's considered to be a "temporary" stopgap before renewables.

They've spent $500 billion and barely scratched their emissions versus France. Their fear of nuclear is going to keep them latched on Natural Gas, and probably coal, for a long time.

Germany has a huge need for energy and Renewables just do not replace fossil generating capabilities at the rate or size needed. This is why we're seeing an increase in interest in Nuclear.

It's kind of an understated miracle that Congress managed to push through enough funds to keep America's aging nuclear fleet operating for a few more decades. I think the U.S. is even bringing the Palisades plant in Michigan back online next year, assuming the Inflation Reduction Act isn't scrapped to pay for tax cuts for the rich. I was kind of expecting all those plants to just close and never be replaced back before 2020. There was some early talk about converting retired coal plants into small-module reactors, but it looks like natural gas is more likely at least in my area.
