Why are energy policies in the USA and Europe the way they are? To: Dr. Samuel Furfari, Professor of Energy Geopolitics at Université libre de Bruxelles and President of the European Society of Engineers and Industrialists Brussels, Belgium Cc: and Bcc: Experts and government leaders in energy policies and energy technologies Dear Professor Furfari, Thank you and your co-author Professor Henri Masson in Switzerland for your article, Why is industrial hydrogen produced from natural gas and not by water electrolysis? It describes technical realities of forcing a "hydrogen utopia" on modern economies that work best with fossil fuels and nuclear power. It is hard to imagine a successful country using wind energy to produce hydrogen from water in order to power their country. All this to avoid generating carbon dioxide from fossil fuels. CO2 is the molecule of life! The Green Religion has spread faster than any religion in history. In just fifty years, it has people everywhere in the free world, from Australia to Zambia, terrified of catastrophic man-made global warming from use of fossil fuels, even though the world is growing more crops and plants of all kinds. People living in green fear are abandoning freedom and free enterprise to surrender to the dictates of the World Economic Forum, jet-setting movie actors, green politicians, and school avoiding, child-savants like Greta Thunberg Green political leaders and their policy writers in the United States and Europe are going to great lengths to force vastly inferior energy policies on their people and economies. In the United States, the 2021 Administration in Washington is mandating energy and infrastructure policies that are loaded with spending on social-engineering aspects related to energy and infrastructure. The technologies being heavily promoted make no sense. Russia and China have much more realistic energy and infrastructure goals. Sincerely, John A.
