Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Alright, one of two outcomes: either the world is very imminently ending, like in the next three days; or in a week the LNG will be flowing again at higher pressure and the Dems will be in full "maybe later kiddo" mode in regards to curtailing our addiction to fossil fuel while charbroiling everyone from the millennials onward.

My money's on the latter.

I think this is purely a function of domestic energy demand. This isn't Biden v Texas, it's Texas Exporters v California Server Farmers.

Biden is trying to keep the gas at home because it makes electricity cheap. If we send it abroad, that means big energy consumers will have to pay escalating rates in an increasingly energy hungry industry.

Step 1. Blow up Nordstream II so Europe has to rely on US LNG exports
Step 2. Put a stop to LNG exports
Step 3. ????

(But seriously does anyone know what the endgame is here because I sure as heck don't)

Holy shit I didn't think of this angle.

I figured he was just looking to boost the US supply to drive down domestic prices, but if this is actually retaliation I am 100% here for it.
