Start Sending them Wind Turbines, Solar Panels, and the Tiny Cars that no Americans Want to Buy
“It’s about time we really help the Ukrainians out of their energy jam by restricting access to their own oil and gas and making them subsidize expensive and unreliable energy.”
Washington, D.C. – As the President and leaders in Congress continue to discuss steps to help the Ukrainian people keep Russian President Vladimir Putin in check, Thomas Pyle, President of the American Energy Alliance, today called upon the Obama Administration to get serious, step up his actions, and start sending Ukraine the vital help they need on energy.
“We need to send Ukraine every available wind turbine, solar panel, and tiny car that no American will buy. That is what the Ukrainian people want, and those are the sort of energy resources that will assist them in their struggle with the Russians.
“Additionally, it’s about time we really help the Ukrainians out of their energy jam by restricting access to their own oil and gas and making them subsidize expensive and unreliable energy.
“We should also deploy Secretary of State John Kerry to Kiev to alert Ukraine that their real challenge is climate change – the world’s greatest weapon of mass destruction and the true and immediate enemy of the Ukrainian people.
“We also hope that the Secretary of the Navy can spare the Great Green Fleet and send it to the region to show the United States’ solidarity with Ukraine.
“The last thing we should do is to increase Ukraine’s dependence on oil and gas by exporting more of either to them. All that will serve to do is deepen their reliance on these inexpensive, reliable, abundant fuels.”
