Samantha Power, the administrator for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), admitted to the world that the administration is using Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine to push its green energy agenda.

From the ABC transcript (my emphasis):

STEPHANOPOULOS: We’re also seeing the impact spread beyond Ukraine, beyond Ukraine’s neighbors, beyond Europe. We’re seeing global food shortages all around the world.

As the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, what more can be done to address those shortages?

POWER: Thank you for posing that question. It is just another catastrophic effect of Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. I mean, as if the harms in Ukraine weren’t enough, you have countries like in sub Saharan Africa and in the Middle East who get maybe 80 to 90 percent of their wheat or their grain overall from Russia and Ukraine. And you see massive spikes in food prices. Food prices right now, George, globally, are up 34 percent from where they were a year ago. Aided substantially, again, by this invasion.

So, we’ve gone to Congress asking for a substantial increase in humanitarian assistance in order to be able to meet those needs, but we’re also active, of course, in more than 80 countries around the world, well and apart from this crisis. So, we’re working with farmers to also increase their production so that you actually have more supply brought on market. Fertilizer shortages are real now because Russia is a big exporter of fertilizer. And even though fertilizer is not sanctioned, less fertilizer is coming out of Russia. As a result, we’re working with countries to think about natural solutions like manure and compost. And this may hasten transition that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually anyway.

So, never let a crisis go to waste, but we really do need this financial support from the Congress to be able to meet emergency food needs so we don’t see the cascading deadly effects of Russia’s war extend into Africa and beyond.

To shed blood for green energy.

  Is Samantha Power so ing ignorant that she can't figure out that if manure and compost were as good as or superior to Bogey-Chemical Fertilizers, those Bogey-Chemical Fertilizers would never have been developed? And that if manure and compost were as good as or superior, farmer would never have switched to the Bogey-Chemical Fertilizers? One need not be the son or daughter of a farmer (I am a farmer's son) to figure this out.

Samantha Power is jaw-droppingly ignorant, and her elitist superiority complex laughable.

Any interview conducted by Stephanopolous is automatically tainted and smells like leftist bullshit -- which isn't far removed from the subject matter.
