The flurry of activity on the world stage is at once alarming and also hopeful.\xa0 As we bid farewell to the reign of Elizabeth II, we can use her as an example of a figurehead of an empire that once stretched around the world.\xa0 There was a deliberate decision after World War II to have that empire evolve into what is known as the Commonwealth Nations.\xa0 While far from perfect, it has been none the less peaceful.\xa0 Contrast that with the naked power grab of Russia and you have a lesson on autocrats, despots, democracy and how to create a union of nations through peace rather than force. \xa0
Force has not worked for Putin.\xa0 The west, primarily through the United States, has given Ukraine sophisticated weapons, such as the HIMARS to help the regain lost territory.\xa0 Last week Putin called for a mobilization of 300, 000 reservists.\xa0 This is the beginning of the end for the reign of Vladmir Putin. \xa0
What also seals his fate is his weaponization of the fossil fuel industry Russia carefully built since the fall of the Soviet Union.\xa0 Now, Europe, being burned more than once by Russia's fuel blackmail will need to find new resources of clean, cheap energy.\xa0 That hope is coming rapidly in the form of hydrogen fuel cell energy.\xa0 HIMARS and Hydrogen will easily change the face of the world in the next 12 months.\xa0 \xa0
