Meanwhile anti-fracking groups received money from Russia in order to increase Europe’s reliance on Russian gas!
Edit to add: Downvotes because it doesn’t fit your narrative? Russia has long funded these groups, during the Soviet era it was anti-nuclear groups knowing that increased reliance on hydrocarbons increased our supply chain fragility in the event of a conflict.
Wonder how much Russian money was involved?
Guess where Global Warming Policy Foundation is run from?
Yes, that’s right 55 Tufton Street, alongside various other iffy organisations.
