Politico seems to argue that Putin is a green hero because his invasion indirectly led to soaring energy costs, which is what far-left extremists have been pining for as they sacrifice human prosperity and progress to satisfy their pagan deity of Mother Earth.
“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,” they wrote.
Politico paints Europe’s painful current struggles as a good thing because they are sacrificing for the greater good of ending fossil fuels (ie. cheap, abundant energy).
“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,” they wrote.
“But those immediate actions to keep the lights on are largely temporary and might avoid longer-term dirty investments. A reversion to coal power in several countries means a surge in emissions, but it’s also killed the idea that natural gas will serve as a “bridge” fuel to ease the path to net-zero emissions — something that had been an article of faith in EU thinking for much of the past decade,” Politico added.
