Yet another action that makes Western energy supplies scarcer. This coincidentally will start adversely affecting us at the same time we’re seeing the fall out from some other bad decisions (cancellation of Keystone pipeline, red tape and removal of US drilling permits, instigating war in Ukraine, etc.). This is the same as all the fires at major food production facilities all happening around the same time. It could be a coincidence, but it’s looking more and more like a large scale planned effort to squeeze supplies and put Western civilization into a crisis. We might see large scale food shortages in the next year—I’m talking about food riot level shortages. The economy runs on oil. To increase economic output you need to burn more oil. If oil supplies become scarcer (more expensive) the economy will need to shrink. You will see things become unaffordable to more and more people. People living in poverty now will not be able to afford housing, or even food. More will join them. When people cannot afford to live they have nothing left to lose. They riot. That is what is in our near future and there were clear decisions that got us here. It could all be incompetence, or it could be that some powerful group of people wants all of this to happen.
