Europe at a tipping point.
European Energy became a big story on May 18, 2013, when the EU Council President predicted that Europe might become the only continent in the world to depend on imported energy.
Now this, February 11, 2019: Europe may be on the cusp of a nightmare, but it's not too late to wake up -- George Soros.Within that story:
- The European renewable energy has been a disaster.
- The future of fracking in Europe and Great Britain is "on hold."
- Europe is running out of fossil fuel. Great Britain will run out of natural gas in three years.
- The Crimean debacle, spring, 2014: Russia inks huge natural gas deal with China in response.
Europe is sleepwalking into oblivion, and the people of Europe need to wake up before it is too late.
If they don’t, the European Union will go the way of the Soviet Union in 1991. Neither our leaders nor ordinary citizens seem to understand that we are experiencing a revolutionary moment, that the range of possibilities is very broad, and that the eventual outcome is thus highly uncertain.
Most of us assume that the future will more or less resemble the present, but this is not necessarily so. In a long and eventful life, I have witnessed many periods of what I call radical disequilibrium. We are living in such a period today.Perhaps, he might want to start with energy. Russia pretty much "controls" Europe now.
My eyes glazed over as soon as I began to read the Soros article. Wow, he's a poor writer. What little I read suggests Soros is misreading the real problems in Europe.
By the way, the EU is not going anywhere, certainly not "the way of the Soviet Union."
Due to the "rules," it may be impossible for Great Britain to leave (Brexit) and if Britain can't leave, no one can.

Really?
Apparently oilprice supports the Occasional-Cortex / Murkey plan for going green. I don't know. I've never been able to separate news articles from op-eds at oilprice.
