Nothing gets in the way of a cult, not even a brutal dictator who’s invaded Ukraine, threatened nuclear war, and is round up dissidents
It took a war criminal to speed up Europe’s green revolution.
Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine has forced Europe to finally break its fossil fuel addiction.
For this reason, he has topped our inaugural #POLITICOGreen28 list.

From the cult screed
It took a war criminal to speed up Europe’s green revolution.
By invading Ukraine and manipulating energy supplies to undermine European support for Kyiv, Russian President Vladimir Putin has achieved something generations of green campaigners could not — clean energy is now a fundamental matter of European security.
The political response from the EU was swift: Within weeks of the February 24 invasion, a plan was sketched out aimed at unhooking the Continent’s energy ties from Moscow. It leaned on three pillars: cutting oil, gas and coal supplies from Russia; getting gas and other fossil fuels from elsewhere; and massively speeding up the roll out of renewable power and energy saving measures.
“Renewables give us the freedom to choose an energy source that is clean, cheap, reliable, and ours,” EU Green Deal chief Frans Timmermans said less than two weeks after Putin’s tanks rolled in.
Seriously, where does one go with this? I’ve seen some seriously wackadoodle stuff from the climate cult, this is definitely up there
The green acceleration doesn’t mean Europeans will avoid a succession of brutally cold and expensive winters. This crisis also means that governments across the bloc have been preoccupied with short-term measures to stave off blackouts, rather than doing their utmost to aid the longer-term energy shift.

While Ukrainians are the primary victims of the war, Europeans have been hit hard by Putin’s weaponization of energy. But the consequences mean an EU that becomes greener, faster, than before Russian troops marched across the Ukrainian border. That impact will be more than a footnote in the history of the war.
Meh, f*** those Europeans, they can just suffer to get the “green” economy, and Politico will thank Putin for it.
Of course, let’s consider that Warmists are, at their hearts, authoritarians, and want to force Everyone Else to do as they say.
Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine has forced Europe to finally break its fossil fuel addiction.
The Green Meanies seem to think that fossil fuels and “renewables” are completely interchangeable, and that it’s simply an “addiction”, rather than practicality that determines what energy is used and where.
Insanity.
Break their addiction? Hell, they’re going to die from going through the withdrawal!
No doubt. Freezing to death is fatal.
