You're a regular Joan of Arc, ain't ya? 125,000 protesters in a country of 67 million and you think they should just slink off into the sunset. Meanwhile there were over 1 million in London protesting against Brexit a few weeks ago and you don't have fuckall to say about that. You're a hack - you just look for easy points to stir shit, nothing productive. Your taskmaster Trump was promoting crappy dirty coal as if he could make it work, even as fracking has completely changed the US energy landscape & turned us into exporters. Your railing against the EU is like railing against the New York metro because someone actually wants to make it work right, fix the tunnels, make connections on time, expand service. The EU largely works well. Yeah, we don't got our own Facebook and Google here to fuck people up, just the imported version, but the American model of disruption is overrated - 2 weeks of vacation a year, no healthcare and a crap pension some corporate raider rips off is not quite the American Dream it's vaunted to be, no matter how much cheap WalMart clothing you can pump people up with. And you're trying to back 2 sides of the coin - a French riot demanding more socialism and an American hyper-laissez faire approach to leaving everyone shoveling shit as a "pull em up by their own bootstraps" approach.

[plus let's find out how much the Russians are behind stirring up French protests, like with Catalonia, like backing Marie Le Pen, like with Brexit...  more "little green men" in the background]

Now, here's the difference between the US & EU on energy - the US insists on not conserving (and largely ignoring global warming); the EU insists on doing something about it. Thus, a much higher % of renewables in the EU energy mix (even though relatively small - nuclear & hydroelectric are being abandoned too soon and fracking not adopted enough (tho still concerned about fracking earthquakes & groundwater pollution), IMNSHO)
