The Iran war is now hurting the clean energy markets, as many byproducts of the oil and gas industry are essential for making solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries, including plastics like ethylene and polypropylene, and sulfuric acid (used to process copper). www.semafor.com/article/05/0 ...

Putin now has more reasons to do the happy dance since oil has skyrocketed and Trump is waiving sanctions on Russian oil because of the war HE started.

What a failure - set of failures - by an American president. I hope America can survive him ...
