I doubt any in gov't towing the "green" party line has ever read those facts or would
accept them. Too bad, they should be published on page 1 with an eye catching
headline. We suspected intuitively that trains were bad but the tanker pollution
is a shocker. The lack of insight about oil tranportation is shameful. Its ignorant
and dishonest to the nth degree and the public is being sold a bill of rotten goods.
But we know, and the heads of government definitely know (they got elected didn't they), that the public at large is a very gullible entity -- so the public gets very highly exploited by the government & politicians each and every day. People have a natural tendency to believe whatever the Government is feeding them. They would much rather believe it than doubt it -- that gives them a much more comfortable feeling -- and by human nature, that's how they like to be.
Good examples are the "forecast conversion time frames for 'green' energy", covid and covid vaccines, the hazards of carbon emissions as being existential, and many more. People are generally easily snowed when it comes from on-high.
Boris Johnson stepped down today as leader of the Conservative Party in Britain, which will be followed by his being replaced as Prime Minister. The majority of his parliament basically walked out on him in a show of rebellion, which prompted this scenario. He was elected as a right wing conservative but it did not take long for him to switch his views as he became ensconced in the pressures of covid and the tight regulations on the public as well as adhering to the whims of the WEF and their "world order reset" views. His personal abuses of the covid regulations, while strictly enforcing them against the public, did not win him any votes. His supporters did not put him in power for him to turn, or change his stripes, to become a left-wing dictator type, eventually they all turned against his actions.
Canada has a similar government structure. What are the odds? Is our leader carrying things out in the manner that his voting supporters were looking for?
I also see the farming community in the Netherlands has taken a page out of the Canadian Truckers Convoy and they are opposing many actions being taken by their government that is attempting to take over their land and changing their overall way of life. From the 1940's era i'm sure there was never any vision or concept that their streets would once again be in total conflict 77 years later, but this time it would be in a peaceful revolt over their own government imposing unacceptable restrictions on their farmland.
These actions in Britain and The Netherlands will no doubt have further negative effects on the economy - particularly in Europe. Netherlands is a large "food" supplier for the whole continent of Europe as well as many other areas.
Vermilion entered the Netherlands in 2004 and today we are the second largest onshore natural gas producer in the country. Our producing assets are located in the northwest part of the country with a regional office in Harlingen. Our European headquarters is located in Amsterdam. Vermilion has tripled its undeveloped land base in the Netherlands since the beginning of 2012 and we now hold approximately 800,000 net acres of undeveloped land within the Netherlands.
We have experienced considerable success in our Netherlands drilling activities with 17 high-rate extension and discovery gas wells drilled since 2009, with an average success rate of 70% over this period.
