Climate Expert: Gas Car Cancellation Is Intended to End Private Transport

Soon after a World Economic Forum partner was caught calling for an “end” to private car ownership, a climate expert is warning that the push to cancel gas-powered cars is just a ploy to end private transport. The climate crisis is a hoax, but it’s such a darn useful hoax for authoritarian globalists.
Climate Depot’s Marc Morano went on Fox Business Thursday and discussed how the Democrat and globalist push to replace gas cars with electric vehicles (EVs) isn’t about helping the environment but restricting Americans’ freedom of movement. “This really isn’t about them driving an electric car,” Morano said, highlighting how this is a top-down decision not based on popular demand. “This literally is — the banning of gas-powered cars — is being done just like a COVID lockdown without a vote,” he added. From California to the Biden Environmental Protection Agency to Australia, leftists are trying to force ordinary citizens into a corner with their gas car restrictions.
Indeed, Pew Research Center published the results of its new survey on June 28, which found that “Less than half of the [U.S.] public (40%) favors phasing out the production of gas-powered cars and trucks.” It’s also significant that EV batteries actually generate lots of toxic waste, so they’re not better for the environment.
“The intent is not to necessarily force people into an electric vehicle,” Morano went on. “The intent is to collapse our plentiful freedom of movement and force us to use mass transit. They want us on the subway.” It’s a global collusion. “They want us on buses. That is what this is about,” Morano insisted. “[Former UK PM] Boris Johnson’s transportation secretary said owning a car was outdated ’20th-century thinking’. They are rationing vehicle use. It’s very simple. You can look at Cuba to see how that turned out; you are going to have a lot of used cars.”

Fossil Fuel Can't Be Turned Off
07/20/23 18:52
Here’s what our climate overlords fail to understand about fossil fuels
David Blackmon
Daily Caller News Foundation
“Today, our society requires oil and gas … There is no way to think that overnight we can just eliminate all that and rely only on 10% of low-carbon energy. It will take decades to build a new system. If we don’t invest enough, the [oil] price will not be $75 per barrel, it will be $150 or $200 and all consumers will be super unhappy and our life will be a nightmare.” That quote was made by TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne during a recent interview with CNBC.
Mr. Pouyanne is certainly not alone in his assessment, though he is closer to the situation than most of the rest of us. The fact is the world is not engaged in any sort of a real “energy transition” at all, but rather a massive diversification and expansion of all types of energy resources. That includes wind and solar, renewable energy sources that are in the midst of a huge expansion drive by trillions of dollars in global government subsidies, but nuclear and coal and wood and biofuels and yes, oil and natural gas.
A new analysis released this week by Energy Outlook Advisors (EOA), a Texas-based advisory group headed up by Anas Alhajji, demonstrates clearly why the popular energy transition narrative about achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 is literally a fantasy.
Start with China and its’ “net-zero by 2060” pledge as a prime example. “The largest investor in renewable energy in the world is China,” Alhajji notes. “To achieve carbon neutrality at this pace of investment, China needs 211 years. But here’s the catch: this number assumes all current renewable projects are going to remain in place forever, and that they won’t require new investments when they expire after 25-30 years. What this indicates is that achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, or even later, is a pipe dream.”
Europe, whose countries have spent trillions of Euros on decarbonization efforts in this century, is another great example. The EOA report points out that, despite those gargantuan investments, fossil fuels — coal, oil and natural gas — provided 71% of Europe’s primary energy consumption during 2022. In China, the figure for 2022 was 82%. In India — the world’s second most populous nation — it was 89%.
In the electricity generation sector, the dominance of fossil fuels is only slightly lower. Europe did manage to generate 41% of its electricity from renewables during 2022, but fossil fuel generation was at 38% with nuclear generating 19% of the continent’s power needs. In China and India, coal is still king, generating 61% and 74% of the power supply in those two Asian giants.
Globally, fossil fuels generated 61% of electricity in 2022, the same percentage as in the United States. With power demand projected to rise dramatically along with the recharging needs of an expanding fleet of electric vehicles in the coming years, this percentage breakdown seems unlikely to shift appreciably for decades to come.
These and other points of hard data cited in the report lead Alhajji to this conclusion: “Most countries, if not all, will not achieve their targets of carbon neutrality, or net zero, by 2050 or 2060. The data above shows that fossil fuels are entrenched and hard to reduce, let alone get rid of them. The hard reality is that we have spent more than $4 trillion on solar and wind energy since 2010, and yet they are showing little progress on the energy landscape.”
Where oil and natural gas are concerned, the report adds, “Data indicates that future demand for oil and gas is UNDERESTIMATED, while demand destruction is HYPED.” That conclusion is supported by repeated upwards revisions of global demand estimates this year by both OPEC and the International Energy Agency.
These are all themes I’ve written about since early 2022, and we have seen a growing consensus forming around them throughout the course of 2023. This EOA report will no doubt help firm up that consensus by documenting the wealth of hard data supporting it.
It’s an important report that everyone should take the time to read and absorb.

Durham Report

The commie Dems/Libs/media are hemorrhaging… their endless lies about Donald Trump have been, once again, revealed as blatant lies. Commie Dems simply cannot compete without attempting to lie about any opposition to their endless attempts to usurp power to their benefit.
Netflix Failure to Rewrite History
05/17/23 17:43
Netflix, for some serious misunderstanding of true Americans, decided to re-write the history of the world… Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, a Greek, became a Black female.
Seriously? Do they really believe that the world is populated with incredibly stupid people?
Rotten Tomatoes has recorded a record low rating for this stupidity… under 1%!!!

Sleepy Joe and his comrades are now attacking organ transplant organizations. Organ transplant lists are maintained by independant national organizations that set strict criteria for transplant eligibility - eligibility is based on a long list of medical and psychological criteria. Race/sexual preference/orientation/et al are not included in organ transplant eligibility criteria.
Enter Sleepy Joe and the commie Democrats… they are now demanding that race, and the rest of their divisive criteria, become part of the selection criteria.
Hmmm, let's see… if The Pheebot were a conservative gay, white, Christian, elderly male, he would qualify as a gay person, but fail all the other criteria. No transplants for The Pheebot!!!

A new low
04/07/23 19:00
The commie Sleepy Joe/Cackling Harris arm of the socialist dems have now arrived at an all new low in their endless endeavor to destroy our country.
They are spewing forth an endless "green" idiocy of regulations and rules that will ultimately destroy our economy - their lusted for goal.
Why do these people so hate our country? Are they really so power hungry that our very existence is antithetical to them?
Evidence?
Well…
How about the specious and baseless indictment of President Trump?
How about their unhinged and irrational promotion of so-called green energy and hatred of fossil fuel?
How about their endless promotion of grooming - destroying childhood?
How about their allowing millions of illegal criminals and drug dealers and terrorists to cross our borders unhindered?
Stand up, American patriots! Let your voices be heard loud and clear that this is NOT what America is about.

Ever since The Donald came down the escalator, the media has been salivating over his imminent arrest and conviction… any day now… wait for it!
And the beat goes on...

The shear stupidity of Sleepy Joe and the rest of the commie dems is just so, so, so stupid and insulting to all Americans!

Biden Documents
01/11/23 18:49
Classified documents have been found at the Penn Biden Center office of Sleepy Joe… when will the FBI raid the Biden Center as they did with Trump's home?
Apparently, Biden's documents were unsecured… Trumps's documents were completely secured by the Secret Service.
Apparently, if you're a Democrat, you have an exemption from any records laws. Sleepy Joe was only a former VP back then, with no authority to declassify any documents, and certainly no right to have classified documents.
Anyone sense a whiff of unending Democrat hypocrisy?

Now Your Gas Stove???
01/11/23 18:39
The wacko left is now targeting gas stoves! AOC, and the rest of the leftist wackos have now declared war on gas stoves… this is beyond insanity!
Their claim? NO2 exposure from gas stoves is/may be causing health problems. In such a tiny percentage of the population that it cannot be measured.
Their solution? Ban gas stoves… in use in millions of homes and restaurants.
Are these people for real?

Queen Nancy's Parting Gift
01/01/23 19:09
As a parting gift to the American taxpayer, queen Nancy Pelosi, Democrat Speaker of The House, has granted Congressional staffers a new top salary of over $212,000.00. That's even more than the salary of elected Members of Congress.
Ain't it great and grand? American taxpayers are suffering from Sleepy Joe's economic disaster of an administration with gross inflation, surging energy costs, and an expanding list of "bare-shelf" shortages.
Average worker Ohio salary? $49,430.00.
Anyone other than the Pheebot see a problem with that?
