Biden roasted for sending South Africa $8 billion to shut down coal plants: ‘Weapon grade lunacy'
[FoxNews] President Biden proclaimed Wednesday that the United States and other G-7 countries will donate billions to get South Africa off coal and on renewables, to the chagrin of many on Twitter.

"Today’s announcement joined a portfolio of Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment projects already underway in Africa," Biden declared at the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, "Including mobilizing $8 billion in public and private finance to help South Africa replace coal-fired power plants with renewable energy sources."

Biden also said money would be spent helping "develop cutting-edge energy solutions like clean hydrogen, a deal worth $2 billion to build solar energy projects in Angola, $600 million high-speed communications cables that will connect Southeast Asia to Europe via Egypt and the Horn of Africa and help bring high-speed internet connectivity to countries all along the way."

Clean hydrogen in Angola,
stripped of all O₂,
why breathe when you can seethe,
in the Gates Depopulation go-to?

#3 Yes, "lunacy" indeed. That shut'n down the mine theme in SA, not popular at all. Those 30+ miners on the ground in the 2012 Marikana photo were seriously dood! The South African Police Service (SAPS) were in no mood for chanting and isikhwili waving. Bad ending, all around I'd say.

#4 And then de-pants Morocco by out-bribing Morocco World Cup 2026.

#5 First CO2 was an issue. Now they are worried about nitrogen as well. When they declare O2 or water vapor as problematic, even the dumber people will probably be able to figure out where this is headed.

#6 Its weapons grade alright.

Not as dramatic as bombing the power plants, but they get paid immediately to provide relief from the problem they just made.

#7 Imagine a fleet of water trucks heading into town. Someone asks, "What's that?"

"Potable water. $10/gallon."

"Outrageous!"

Then, the water treatment plant blows up.
