The U.S. is pushing its allies into long-term fossil fuel deals — not for cheaper energy, but to protect its own gas industry. Countries like Australia, Japan, and Indonesia are being pressured to lock in liquefied natural gas contracts that could last decades.

Why? To slow down the clean energy shift and block China’s rise in renewables. But this strategy comes at a massive cost — higher electricity prices, lost energy independence, and a worsening climate crisis.

Is it time for Asia to say no to gas and yes to a cleaner, cheaper future?

00:00What if your country was being locked into expensive energy deals
00:03just to keep another nation's fossil fuel industry alive?
00:07Right now, the United States is using defense deals
00:09and trade access to pressure allies into buying its gas,
00:13under contracts that last decades.
00:15Europe, Indonesia, even Japan are signing up for billions in U.S. energy imports.
00:20Why?
00:21Not because it's cheaper,
00:23but because Washington wants to lock in fossil fuel profits
00:25before clean tech takes over.
00:27However, the U.S. now leads global gas exports,
00:30and it's using that to maintain dominance,
00:33push back against China's clean energy rise,
00:35and keep its influence alive.
00:37But there's a cost.
00:39These deals mean higher prices,
00:41less energy independence,
00:42and decades more pollution.
00:44Countries like Australia face a tough choice,
00:47sell gas today or protect their climate and economic future.
00:50Trump calls climate change a con job,
00:53but the real con is pressuring nations
00:55to sacrifice their future for fossil fuels.
00:58Asia and Australia have what it takes
00:59to lead the clean revolution,
01:01if they choose it now.
