A Serious Question for President Biden and Special Envoy Kerry

 


A Serious Question for President Biden and Special Envoy Kerry

open letter:


(1) the humanitarian atrocity in Ukraine perpetrated by Vladimir Putin must be resisted by all prudent means.

(2) No other major population block outside the United States is more committed to reducing green house gases than Free Europe.

(3) Russia MUST NOT gain economic advantage through the continued export of fossil fuels to Free Europe.

(4) In the short-term, Free Europe has vital needs for limited fossil fuels.

(5) In the short term the United States (and allied nations like Canada) can provide the vital fossil fuel needs for our friends and allies in Free Europe.

(6) The United States (and allied nations like Canada) can provide vital fossil fuels environmentally safer and cleaner than Russia.

(7) The only rational, moral, and ethical solution is to supplant Russian fossil fuel supplies with cleaner and safer North American fossil fuels.
