The world will run out of the precious and rare elements to make batteries before we will run out of oil. And if saving the planet is the goal, the mining operations to harvest those “precious” elements is far more exhaustive and damaging than harvesting iron, aluminum and oil.

Why don’t they start by banning private jets? That is wasteful on steroids! If they do that, then we will know that climate change is real.

He’s essentially a Bond villain and should be dealt with accordingly.

” The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time…”

Interesting, but why not let the English citizens just choose other means of transportation than vehicle ownership if they want?

I believe these world leaders are a judgment from God. They are part of “the curse” (Zechariah 5, Revelation 6) that God is unleashing on the earth to separate the Wheat from the Tares. It is also “the delusion” spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2…

Like some businesses adopt a stretch of highway to keep it clean, so should Retired SEAL Team Six members adopt Davos to keep the place free of litter.

So what if mineral production increases by 500%?

Somebody will make a lot of money supplying that market.

That is the beauty of the capitalist system. Production will rise to meet demand and will eventually surpass demand and prices will fall.

And alternative technologies will be developed that do not use scarce minerals.

These things will happen provided government does not get in the way.

The only bad thing here is that this is an artificially created market. These resources would be better utilized in other products.

Government is forcing markets in a direction that it would not organically go.

Market bubbles are created in these situations. And eventually these bubbles burst and the economy suffers.

I said for over 30 years that if the automobile was invented today the government would never allow it to be in the hands of private citizens. Fortunately, Pandora’s box was opened, and they’re going to have a heck of a Time closing it.

The Left lacks any mechanism for keeping it in balance/equilibrium (the way a bicycle has, for example) so it keeps pushing and probing way out beyond what might be called the limits of sanity.

And what's to stop them?

“Even EVs? Now the truth is out.”

They ALL know that EVs are not sustainable at anywhere near the levels of gasoline cars, simply due to the resources required to produce them. But the objective, of course is to first end gasoline cars, and then drive up the price of EVs so that only the wealthiest 10% (or probably more like 2 or 3%) will be able to afford them.

Same for housing. Drive up the cost of living in single family homes by driving up fuel prices (the fact that cities are now ending natural gas hookups should make that OBVIOUS), and people will be FORCED to migrate to apartments. And when certain levels of migration are reached, do what Detroit is already doing (for other reasons), and simply RAZE the housing stock, returning it to its pre-humanity state.

...but it all hinges on Russia and other countries no longer being able to sell fuel around the world. Without that little detail, the WEF will die out as an entity.

At a UN Climate Conference in Brazil back in the early ‘90’s. Freerepublic has tons of threads about this shadow world government players.

Search for Maurice Strong (Deceased Canadian) and David Rockefeller (Deceased Anti-American) along with AGENDA 21 and 2030 AGENDA and you’ll quickly learn what their plans are and what they have been doing since that confab in Brazil 30 odd years ago. Use the search feature here, Freerepublic too.

Warning ⚠️ it isn’t pretty and you’ll be really pissed once you see how successful they have been.

The whole point of the push to EVs is to get rid of ICE vehicles. And then once that’s accomplised, it’s all over for personal transportation.
