FWIW Im not concerned about going green because of gas prices, Im concerned about going green as in glowing nuclear fluorescent green if we push Putin too hard and he goes rogue. Biden said sanctions could take months it's been barely 10 days, pulling Russian oil imports is eerily what was the final impetus for Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.
Sanctions are fine if everybody understands they could fail and force Putin's hand to do something incredibly stupid.
Your right. Indeed, that was the main thing that got the Japanese to start WWII.
But can we let Putin blackmail us?
Things aren't always easy to figure out.
How long will the sanctions last?

I would just like to quickly thank all of you Biden supporters for increases in the cost of living, less freedoms, and more wars. Good job, you retards never disappoint.

ABC News' Jonathan Karl said on "This Week" Sunday that it was "extraordinary" the Biden administration was sanctioning everything but Russian oil, "the thing that drives their economy."
"The question of banning the import of oil and gas from Russia," Karl said. "It is not insignificant.
We actually take in more petroleum from Russia then we do from Saudi Arabia.
It's extraordinary, George, for all the sanctions that have been imposed, and they have been unprecedented on Russia, to sanction everything but the thing that drives their economy!"

Apparently the delusional green ideology is both the Problem and the Solution ...
Green delusions empowered Putin
These countries are in the grips of a delusional green ideology that makes them incapable of understanding the hard realities of energy production.
^^^ NAILED IT.

How is it possible that European countries, Germany especially, allowed themselves to become so dependent on an authoritarian country over the 30 years since the end of the Cold War?
Here’s how: These countries are in the grips of a delusional ideology that makes them incapable of understanding the hard realities of energy production. Green ideology insists we don’t need nuclear and that we don’t need fracking. It insists that it’s just a matter of will and money to switch to all-renewables—and fast. It insists that we need “degrowth” of the economy, and that we face looming human “extinction.” (I would know. I myself was once a true believer.)
I submit that the Green religion is not about climate change: it is a metamorphic policy instrument that can be bent and molded to provide a justification for convincing people to do what you want them to, ....and feel good about doing it
Want your citizens eating less meat? Tell them it's GREEN
Want your demographics shifted to large urban areas in lieu of suburbs/rural areas? Tell them it's GREEN
Want to emphasize socialist economic policies? Tell them it's GREEN
With it's seeming ability to be applicable to every single facet of society (even things seemingly unrelated to climate or energy), and it's ability to attract massive sums of investment (make people throw money at it), how can it not be considered a new religion?

Great, and the cost of doing all that was $___,___.__ ?
I doubt many can afford to do all those things within 1 week!
I really don't put a price on helping people from being killed in war. Human life is priceless.
But you are right; people do have different means to contribute to the cause. Luckily there are free alternatives to gass vehicles (walk) and oil burners (huddle together) and solutions at many other different price points.
