Green energy can promote peace

Let's flip the coin. If a country like Kenya had been suspected of being behind a deadly missile attack that downed a plane and killed all on board, chances are that global fury wouldn't be as muted as has been the case for Russia. When the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over Eastern Ukraine, subsequent analyses seemed to point to Russian-backed rebels.

Although there has been no conclusive investigation, US Secretary of State John Kerry unequivocally said there had been a buildup of extraordinary circumstantial evidence that held the Russian-backed rebels responsible for shooting down the Malaysian plane. He went on to state that, 'Russia is supporting these separatists. Russia is arming these separatists. Russia is training these separatists, and Russia has not yet done the things necessary in order to try to bring them under control.'
