If fossil fuels are bad then the PRC won't be needing any from Venezuela or Iran.
Don't worry Badger, it is all part of the long term plan.
Fossil fuel dependency is being phased out in a progressive manner.
China leads the world in sustainable energy technology.
Ah yes, CHYNA is simultaneously solving climate change and producing the most energy. And providing the cheapest organs.
Now now Badger, you sound a little...Jealous.
The US healthcare system is hardly, Equitable.
And you have run out of Interceptors. Oh dear!
It's too equitable. Everyone gets healthcare. It's only expensive for the people not using it.
Good health to you!
Great of you to chime in!
Always happy to engage in good faith reasoned debate.
The truth is out there as they say!
And if “far-right” means anything, it must be to approach the WWII Nazi ideology, or homeland-purity of actual fascism of Mussolini’s Italy, both of which are kind of the direct opposite of “Netanyahu and his far-right government.” (Something about the Jews... I don’t know, @Solomonsatoshi will weigh in on the Greater Israel Project here, I couldn't care less.)
Since you couldn't care less I will take the bait.
Netanyahu demonstrably supports The Greater Israel Project...an expansionary vision of land grabbing to increase the size of Israel...and 'supported' by biblical text which claims God granted the lands between the Nile and Euphrates to the Jewish people.

'In August 2025, Israeli prime minister https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Netanyahu said in an interview with Israeli TV channel i24News that he was on a "historic and spiritual mission" and that he is "very" attached to the vision of Greater Israel, which includes Palestinian areas and possibly also places that are part of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon.''
This is not so different to Hitlers project to expand the German empire, or Trumps to seize Iran, Venezuela, Greenland and perhaps Canada along with USAs already established Monroe doctrine of regional hegemony over the Americas.
Fascists believe the use of force is justified and after WW2 one of the things that was agreed was that military aggression to seize territory is not acceptable- Trump and Israel (and Putin) are challenging this tenet of post war consensus with their assassinations and invasions of neighbouring territories...in breach of international law.
The fascist approach to land grabbing is aligned with its approach to the environment- Trumps 'Drill baby Drill' cries sponsored by Big Oil and complete disregard for the consequences of fossil fuel use is just one example.
The far right, whether you call it fascist or simply far right is all about use of force and self interest coming before respect for others.
Trump and Netanyahu are far right at best, fascist quite probably in their words and actions.
The determined campaign to bury any mention of The Greater Israel Project by downzapping demonstrates that the far right know their intentions are not defensible in an open and reasoned dialogue- they must be concealed and hidden...
It is rather odd that @denlillaapan seems to think that land grabbing wars of aggression are somehow compatible with the principles of free trade and Libertarian ideology.
It is also rather odd that so many 'Libertarians' do not seem to understand the principle of externalities- in particular the science that shows that use of fossil fuels, while delivering cheap power has consequences upon the global climate and ecosystems- the very climate and ecosystems upon which nearly all economic development and prosperity rely.
It is as if you do not understand economics and the crucial role climate plays in enabling human economic investment and productivity. Maybe you should study history and see how many civilisations have fallen due to changes in the climate due both to human activity and 'natural' climate change.
@denlillaapan is not a trained historian or ecologist...he does not even seem to understand and consider the economic principle of externalities and how use of fossil fuels imposes significant costs on parties other than those who directly enjoy the energy supplied by them.
Responsible economic analysis = consider externalities.
