George Yates, CEO of HEYCO Energy Group, and King Crow, Partner at Flatland Minerals, hosted a luncheon with special guest speakers Dr. Benny Peiser and Francis Menton at the Dallas Petroleum Club on Thursday March 24, 2022.
THE PRESENTATION
“Europe’s Green Energy Crisis, Putin’s War, and the U.S.”
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a dramatic escalation of the UK’s worst energy and security crisis since World War II and calls for decisive deterrence by Britain and its Western allies.
Europe’s Net Zero agenda, its suppression of nuclear, oil, gas and coal power in favor of unreliable renewables and its failure to develop its shale gas wealth has been incentivizing Putin’s energy wars and has become a major threat to Europe’s economy, peace and security.
Europe’s green energy crisis has significant implications and key lesson for America’s climate and energy policy.
