"“We know that this is the way the world is going..."

Oh really Junior, and what world is that?

The mighty Scandinavian Empire? 

The world is going to go the way that the US, China even India lead. Renewables? Yes, especially as costs come down. Electric cars? Ultimately. But sledgehammer approaches to so called fossil fuels? Not a chance. Tax your own citizens and industries to a disadvantage? Dream on.

Good buddy Barack will be gone in 4 weeks. No more bromance partners on the horizon. Realpolitik. Look after your own. The Mr. Dressup, Casey and Finnegan fantasy world that Junior inhabits will once again just be in the realm of a nice children's program.

Reality. President Obama was right - it does have a way of inserting itself.
