The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

They are not trying to wean off oil... the Orange pedophile regime is actually looking at paying a BILLION dollar to cancel existing wind farms so that the USA depends harder on fossil fuels
That is the equivalent of a terminal alcoholic deciding coffee is woke and switching it with bourbon for breakfast
So far the only winners in the Iran’s War is Gazprom that have seen its American’s tariffs being loosened by the Orange admin.
Putin's investment in Trump is paying off handsomely.
Get rid of Conservatives. That's your first step. Their regressive nature makes moving past fossil fuels next to impossible.
Imo the two party system basically always devolves into two pro-authoritarian parties, sponsored by capital owners.
like I'd say the "democrats" are just a GOP-light version in terms of representing and realizing progressive topics. Even in parliament systems I feel like this is an issue, greens become more and more conservative in some countries, and esp a certain middle-left party, I have in mind, is basically just doing what the conservatives want with no own agenda anymore.. so in 2 party systems this overton-window shift seems even easier to establish idk
Or get rid of Conservatives AND Democrats and let nature alone reclaim the soil.

This isn't about oil. This is about "Greater Israel", zionism and the most powerful blackmail ring in the world run by Mossad and the CIA.
The US have been a net exporter of oil since 2020 something due to domestic shale oil. The meme about US starting wars to get more oil was probably valid in 2003 but not in 2026.
What they can do is try to cause a 1970s oil crisis in China, who is a net importer. China can and does invest massively in EV, solar and wind to reduce this vulnerability.
Yep, even in 2003 it was about controlling/disrupting the oil markets a lot more than the US personally wanting more oil. But that's a more difficult concept to grasp than "US wants peoples oil!" so that's the message that spread!
We export it because it's harder to refine, not because of a domestic oil surplus. We've already depleted our reserves.
US and allies
What allies? He's estranged them all
Israel
To me it is like giving crack to a crack feind. Takes care of the problem short term
What are you talking about? In what reality is supplying an addict with their addiction "taking care of the problem", either short, medium, or long-term?? Obviously there's parallels to America's oil addiction, but that sentence doesn't make any sense...
It takes care of the problem with withdrawals, not the addiction.
This only delays the Epstein shit not even long enough to try and salvage the midterms. Tick-tick-TOCK!
It doesn't. It's all about maintaining dependency
