You got the "mild winter/harsh winter" thing exactly right. It's a hard concept for many to absorb.

I myself only realised this a few days ago. I knew a warm winter is bad for crops but I hadn't thought about it in relation to the current situation in the EU.

Great content from 3 great experts. There is one thing that is clear. This is all a world wide world leader making uniform decisions to not provided low cost energy, and destroy the food supply chain. You all right, and this all about a way to control the populations. Civil unrest is on the way around the world.

Great job! You guys are still Rock Stars.

Great content all of you. I like many just do not get it, how cutting off your own energy supplies is helping the Russians. They are swimming in new earned money. What is even dummer the West thinking they can control the world with price controls. 60 to 70% of the world currently does not support the sanctions. Japan told the G& they would continue to buy Russian product despite the sanctions a week ago. So, the G7 grants them a waiver after the fact. The G7 cannot control its own members.

Commodities are sold on the open market no matter what the West does they cannot nor will the world buckle to their demands, period. I have to feed my population, warm and clothe them and the West thinks I am going to do crazy shit like they want is not going to happen, I am going to take care of my country like so many have already stated, they are not siding with the WEST.

Only time and history will tell but the nuts are out there California making IC vehicles unlawful but wait wait for it, you cannot charge them when you need too as the electricity grids cannot support them. I bet the electricity councils are just drooling over the profits. Currently 42 cents a minute to charge your vehicle downtown.

True story from mike a good friend of mine in Olympia who is upset with the greenie crowd, you see he bought a Volt a couple of years back. We now it needs new batteries, best price to replace them is currently 29,000.00 he is now buying another IC compact and all I could do was laugh at him. He was warned.

Ah, yes, it's sweet how EU and U.S./Canada leaders use "the world" to mean "we", not actually the world.

What's wrong with the Volt, this is the second battery replacement case I'm hearing about in the last couple of weeks. Odd.

According to Mike the Volt is having problems with the battery holding the charge. The warranty is only 5 years.

And this is why I mistrust anything with a battery. But 5 years is the maximum you should keep a car, no? Safety and stuff, they say. How dare he want to drive it for more than 5 years? :)
