“This is not a “war for oil and gas” in the sense that too many of America’s Middle East misadventures might plausibly be described. But it is a war underwritten by oil and gas, a war whose most crucial weapon may be oil and gas, a war we can’t fully engage because we remain dependent on oil and gas. If you want to stand with the brave people of Ukraine, you need to find a way to stand against oil and gas...Today, 60% of [Russia’s] exports are oil and gas; they supply the money that powers the country’s military machine...now is the moment to remind ourselves that, in the last decade, scientists and engineers have dropped the cost of solar and windpower by an order of magnitude, to the point where it is some of the cheapest power on Earth...deploying it immediately ...dramatically reduces the power of autocrats, dictators, and thugs.” - Bill McKibben for The Guardian
