A moratorium on fracking will be lifted and planning permission can be sought where there is local support<\/em>,\u201d in an urgent emergency effort to lower energy costs for British citizens.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The move comes in combination with a government plan to help citizens and businesses cope with skyrocketing prices for electricity and home heating fuel. The climate change chickens have come home to roost throughout Europe and the British government is urgently trying to head-off the calamitous consequences.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Inside the media announcements of the Truss plan, the biggest concern expressed is how the financial and multinational banking sector (the ESG [Environmental Social and Governance] investment groups) will respond to the government position. After decades of ideological \u201cgreen\u201d outlooks flowing into the energy industry, the biggest concern expressed in the financial analysis is how a reversal by such a large economic system will reverberate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The climate change ideology has a stranglehold on the energy sector of the economy, this move by Great Britain would be the most significant push-back in decades. The minority green activists are apoplectic that they may lose control over the majority of opinion. The economics of a reversal in energy policy could reverberate throughout the western alliance, particularly in Europe. It will be interesting to see whether this shift in U.K. policy has ripple effects in the U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>This is the first crack in the western alliance and the \u2018climate change\u2019 agenda of the World Economic Forum as it relates to energy policy and ultimately control over human life within the alliance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The war in Ukraine was being used as a justification to explain the consequences of European energy policy, particularly rapidly increasing costs for energy and food, but the war in Ukraine was not the cause. The true root cause of the exploding inflation and economic mess was the Build Back Better agenda, and the series of policies dictated from within it, that each nation willingly accepted.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>America needs to follow suit on this policy change. California, one of our most beautiful states, is currently dealing with record heat and a state government asking people to limit their use of air conditioning and not charge their electric cars. It&#8217;s time to acknowledge that we don&#8217;t have all of the technology to convert to green energy and that to attempt that conversion before we have the technology is going to be harmful to everyone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday, The Conservative Treehouse posted an article about a significant change in the energy policies of the United Kingdom.
