- **Published:** 2022-03-17

Rising fuel costs have led to a surge in sophisticated gas thefts across the United States, with thieves in Houston using modified vans with trap doors to pump thousands of gallons from underground tanks. The Biden administration has pressured countries like India to avoid purchasing discounted Russian crude oil, framing it as being on the "wrong side of history." Meanwhile, the Green New Deal is viewed by some as a policy intended to weaken the U.S. dollar by moving away from petrochemicals.

### California Rolling Blackouts, Green Energy Management

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1269-pre-bunked/chapter/california-rolling-blackouts-green-energy-management.md

California faces predicted rolling blackouts during a summer heatwave due to the removal of gas-based power turbines. A General Electric engineer reports that newer gas-fired machines capable of rapid baseline ramping were decommissioned in favor of older, less efficient steam-cooled units. The power shortages are attributed to management decisions favoring Green New Deal policies over grid stability.

### Emmanuel Macron, French Nuclear Power Phase-out

- **Episode:** [1090: Truth Tell](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1090-truth-tell.md)
- **Published:** 2018-11-30

French President Emmanuel Macron announced a plan to close 14 nuclear reactors by 2035 as part of a shift toward renewable energy. This move is criticized because France's standardized nuclear system is currently one of the most efficient and carbon-neutral energy grids in the world. The hosts argue that wind and solar power will be insufficient to replace the 80% of electricity currently generated by nuclear plants.

Russia and China signed a landmark $400 billion deal for a natural gas pipeline from Siberia. The hosts interpret this as a strategic move to bypass the U.S. petrodollar and strengthen the BRICS economic bloc. They suggest the timing of the deal was a deliberate message to the United States government following tensions in Ukraine.
