The COVID Lockdown is a practice run for the big one — the Carbon Lockdown.
If climate alarmists win the elections, our freedoms and prosperity will evaporate like CO2 from a warm beer. The fact that their green energy program is madness will be irrelevant to the new WCO (World Carbon Organization).
To meet U.N. Paris targets, there will be no more gas cars, diesel trucks, reliable electricity, beef burgers, or Christmas ham, but bio-fueled battleships, hydrogen-fueled planes, and sail-powered bulk carriers will be decreed (except in the BRICS world). Diesel submarines will be scrapped, and NATO will mandate battery-powered battle tanks. Pit ponies will return to the mines, and farmers will plow with Clydesdales.
Soon they will design a mask that absorbs CO2 from your breath. Mega-cities will be "unsustainable." You will be confined to your local commune and shop in pedal-powered trikes with battery-assist. You must eat local food and use electric power only when they switch it on for your district (but never on still, frosty mornings).
For democRATs I would suggest CO2 masks with a lineral application of duct tape to make sure they stay in place and no CO2 escapes.
What’s the plan to retrofit all of China?
No need for that - Chinese CO2 doesn’t affect the climate.
I believe you are correct about the coming Carbon Shutdown...
The COVID Lockdown is a practice run for the big one — the Carbon Lockdown.
With batteries providing so much “energy” to power things, there will have to be a way to recycle worn out batteries. A huge slush fund will be created and big bucks will be shelled out to the “friends” of the administration (think Solyndra). Money will flow into the pockets of these criminals...leaving behind mega-toxic battery dump sites...because they never really intended to recycle the batteries anyway. Crooked politicians will given the opportunity to invest in these companies in advance (insider trading). Recyclers will be awarded carbon credits for such a beneficial industry. Company stock prices will soar...with the crooked pols getting rich. Families living near these toxic waste sites will begin dying of cancer, but no investigation well be done.
You are such an optimist!
We have already seen Democrat Governors issuing emergency COVID orders that violate the Constitution, so what is to stop them from issuing a climate change emergency?
