Not surprising. Had to do it for internal consumption. Prepping the ground so to speak for the possible economic pain should this linger on.
We have been burning somewhat cleaner for a few years now and are trying to help other countries do the same. I am sure we can get better at it. Below is what is being researched now.

That's not what he's doing, unlike Edstein or some of the other more dimwitted leftists whose clear and unambiguous goal is to bait angry political debate in off topic threads.
You need to take it to the political thread; stop baiting.
Some politics is inevitable, as this is a geopolitical, but we should try to keep it on topic, not derail into tangential domestic politics, for the good of the thread. If the rona thread could do it ans survive, this one should too.
Ukraine president and former president are badasses. Not like Biden and trump at all.
Hard to be on topic when you're off your rocker on me & whatever cake fart vids are.
And I'll still get back to you on my timing choice.
Yep. For the next few decades, we need to lean into nat gas and take advantage of our own natural resources...not to mention it's by far the cleanest burning of the fossil fuels. Supplement with renewables like wind and solar and most importantly, continue to change the narrative on nuclear power. Nukes are the safest and cleanest source of energy ever discovered and would solve the world's energy problems if we let it.

"European Union officials said there was growing momentum behind the bloc agreeing to cut Russia out of a crucial global payments system, marking a shift in sentiment after two rounds of Western sanctions on Moscow have shown little effect in persuading President Vladimir Putin from ratcheting down his invasion of Ukraine.
Several capitals, including Berlin and Rome, have resisted the option of disconnecting Russian banks from Swift, a global system that connects banks to facilitate cross-border payments. Critics have worried it could have unintended consequences, including complicating energy payments to Russia and leaving European banks exposed to money owed to them by Russian financial firms. There have also been concerns it could encourage closer financial ties between Russia and China.
President Biden hasn’t included Swift in sanctions announced by Washington this week, but has said it was still an option on the table. The issue though is also getting renewed attention in the U.S. Senior Biden administration officials are weighing the implications of cutting Russia off from Swift, according to a U.S. official."
Germany & Italy onboard is a huge deal given their (stupid) dependence on Russian oil.
EU, U.K., Canada, U.S. Plan to Cut Some Russian Banks From Swift
Group will also take measures to paralyze the activities of Russia’s central bank in the latest response to the Kremlin’s attack on Ukraine.

This is the so called “nuclear option“ in economic sanctions.
Nah it was definitely you. Last summer on here on some random weekend night. I could try and dig up the topic but you probably deleted it since then.
You were going on about how cake farting vids get you going like no other. You had this whole rap about when you were 8 years old you were at some family lunch after church and there was this younger aunt you were attracted to but didn't realize it at the time. So you had one of those old whoopie cushions and got your aunt to mistakenly sit on it and it made this long, drawn out fartie noise. You said, and I quote, "it was like a lightning bolt going through my pee pee" and that eventually led to your obsession with cake farting porn. You were even posting links to your favorite vids like Bertha's Birthday Biscuits and Why Is The Frosting So Runny? are the two I distinctly remember. Don't deny it now.
Politics have bled in to all aspects of life. Everything. And it’s not changing unfortunately
Whacko: If we don’t stop carbon emissions right now, the world will end in 10 years.
Wisdom: Really? Well, if you believe that, let’s move to nuclear and natural gas right now.
Whacko: Are you kidding? We can’t trust nuclear and fracking is bad!!
Wisdom: Is the world ending in 10 years?
Whacko: We must move to electric cars!
Wisdom: Without discussing the environmental impact of electric cars, where does the energy come from for these cars?
Whacko: Solar and wind, you racist!
Wisdom: How long will it take us to develop the technology to be able to accommodate our energy needs through solar and wind?
Whacko: We can’t do that now?
My guess is that you are describing a wet dream you once had. Maybe posters here were in that dream?
And all you vodka lovers need to stop & binge on something else.
We had a POTUS who wanted this. He was hounded out of office. The failure of his opposition and of progressives throughout the West to pursue energy independence in the name of the environment is a direct cause of Russia’s actions.
There is no separating politics from this particular situation. The only question will be whether the radical left now understands.
Why the leaders of this country for the most part haven’t embraced making the USA energy independent by tapping into its own natural resources just boggles the mind.
Nukes are extremely safe until they aren't. Human error and climate is an ongoing threat. Battery technology is advancing so fast to already become a player in more applications that just EV's. Enphase, Solar Edge and STEM are examples of companies addressing energy storage issues for commercial use.
Reports of Russia being cut from SWIFT. Not verified yet. Would be huge. Hell, Putin may commit suicide before it's all over.
I only drink whiskey but this is also available nearby.Ukrainian vodka. I purchased another bottle yesterday afternoon.
Yeah, he'll fire nukes before taking his own life. This is nuts.
Vodka under siege as governor of New Hampshire just took all Russian-owned spirits off the shelves.
Problem is there's alot of non reliable news coming out. Saw a number a minute ago that the Russians have lost 3500 lives.
There's just no way that's possible. The US didn't lose that many lives in 20 years in Afghanistan, Russia did in 3 days? Lol they must be running nude straight into gunfire.

Erk and Jerk for a few posters here since they are all over the place with their post while being jerks about it.
Finland’s ambassador to the U.S. boasted about his country’s strong military and said he didn’t see an "immediate threat" after a Russian official suggested military action if the Nordic nation were to join NATO.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Finland and Sweden would "face some military and political consequences" if they joined.
"We are not in a position that we will get scared because of one statement," Ambassador Mikko Hautala told Fox News. "We have one of the best armies in Europe."

Yeah, take the completely random gay bashing to the political thread. That's not what this thread exists for. Contribute to the thread, don't be an asshole.
Propaganda. Every country has its own wing.
Don’t be so sensitive, we have a gay bashing thread already 🍺🇺🇸
Yes - nice comment there !
OR - Putin knows that the world economic landscape is about to be reset anyway -
How does the widely publicized “great reset”! of the worlds economies fit into the current context of conflict in the Ukraine?
Putin certainly has this on his radar -
Again - not my strongest topic BUT wouldn’t removal of Russia fm Swift also cause blowback economic harm to others besides Russia?
Would that move possibly start a wider economic chain reaction of nations unable to pay debts / banks not able to function as they currently do?
And if so - then it would start to look like the military conflict served the purpose of transitioning the world — into the great reset and dissolution of the old economic order
Is that even remotely possible?
Wish i understood Swift better - that’ll be my homework for this evening!
three short years ago i’d have fought you and your dirty hooker mouth over that filthy statement.....
but ....i’m better now
