une proie de plus<\/strong> pour le Syst\u00e8me, mais une proie d’un poids consid\u00e9rable, et g\u00e9n\u00e9rant une crise de d\u00e9stabilisation g\u00e9n\u00e9rale qui ne peut \u00eatre qu’accentu\u00e9e par ce nouvel \u00e9l\u00e9ment, cette nouvelle sous-crise compl\u00e9mentaire…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abThe way to beat Vladimir Putin is to flood the European market with fracked-in-the-USA natural gas, or so the industry would have us believe. As part of escalating anti-Russian hysteria, two bills have been introduced into the US Congress one in the House of Representatives (H.R. 6), one in the Senate (S. 2083) that attempt to fast-track liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, all in the name of helping Europe to wean itself from Putin’s fossil fuels, and enhancing US national security.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAccording to Cory Gardner, the Republican congressman who introduced the House bill, opposing this legislation is like hanging up on a 911 call from our friends and allies. And that might be true as long as your friends and allies work at Chevron and Shell, and the emergency is the need to keep profits up amid dwindling supplies of conventional oil and gas.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbFor this ploy to work, it’s important not to look too closely at details…<\/em> […]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbI call this knack for exploiting crisis for private gain the shock doctrine, and it shows no signs of retreating. We all know how the shock doctrine works: during times of crisis, whether real or manufactured, our elites are able to ram through unpopular policies that are detrimental to the majority under cover of emergency. Sure there are objections from climate scientists warning of the potent warming powers of methane, or local communities that don’t want these high-risk export ports on their beloved coasts. But who has time for debate? It’s an emergency! A 911 call ringing! Pass the laws first, think about them later. Plenty of industries are good at this ploy, but none is more adept at exploiting the rationality-arresting properties of crisis than the global gas sector.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbFor the past four years the gas lobby has used the economic crisis in Europe to tell countries like Greece that the way out of debt and desperation is to open their beautiful and fragile seas to drilling. And it has employed similar arguments to rationalise fracking across North America and the United Kingdom. Now the crisis du jour is conflict in Ukraine, being used as a battering ram to knock down sensible restrictions on natural gas exports and push through a controversial free-trade deal with Europe. It’s quite a deal: more corporate free-trade polluting economies and more heat-trapping gases polluting the atmosphere all as a response to an energy crisis that is largely manufactured…<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
