Putin: green agenda is 'claptrap'

First the Chinese start ditching their draconian one-child policy, now this ...

From RIA Novosti news agency in Russia:

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Monday that nuclear energy is the only alternative to traditional energy sources.

"You couldn't transfer large electric power stations to wind energy, however much you wanted to. In the next few decades, it will be impossible," Putin said, adding that consumption patterns would only undergo minor changes.

He said the only "real and powerful alternative" to oil and gas is nuclear energy. He rejected other approaches as "claptrap."

Russia (along with China) has been one of the key countries opposing the international carbon dictatorship that the United Nations wants to impose on the world. If Russia and China were not opposing the green agenda, Australia would be under an ETS right now. We should be thanking Putin for his resistance to western elites, not trying to start a war by putting missile installations into Poland and supporting the crackpot President of Georgia.
