An op ed but explains what is taking place here as well.

High prices are a good thing and needed for the transition from fossil fuels.

Added benefit is more government handouts and dependence.

Create the crisis then use it to enslave more citizens with government printed money.

“Do experts have something to add to public debate?”

No, please no. No more “experts.”

False Premise. There is no man-caused global warming therefore there is no climate crisis caused by CO2.

I guess hitting yourself in the head with a hammer is a good thing too. Right?

What we need is a transition from Left wing enviro idolatry to repentance and revival.

... oh, and using more fossil fuels.

We’ll see what the British public values more - having a functioning economy or sacrificing to Gaia.

I think I know which is going to win though it may take a while to become government policy. There are a lot of Elites to throw out of office first.

Two solutions proposed here:
1. GOVERNMENT decides the amount of profit oil companies are allowed to keep
2. SKY HIGH TAXES on petroleum, but don’t worry, comrade. Your kind and beneficient government will send your tax payments back to you.

Yeah, that will work.

I have a thought. If fossil fuels are so BAD a for the “planet,” then by all means, we should use them up as fast as we can to rid the earth of it’s toxic “fossil fuel” stores. Whew! Think about how much better and purer the soil will be!!!

These high gas prices is exactly what Algore wanted all along.

The only drawback is that Algore wanted to achieve these high prices through a carbon tax, with government raking in the tax money, and Algore getting rich(er) from a Carbon Credit trading scheme.

High fossil fuel prices are making food too pricey for poor people.

Just as there is no such thing as a fossil fuel addiction.

The Left worldwide has been telling us for years that they intend to make the cost of energy so high that it will become prohibitive.

In their view, America has had low energy costs for far too long, and an economically strong America has been an obstacle to tyranny for far too long, in their eyes. If they can bring this country down, they can proceed.

They have been open about it. All you have to do is actually listen to them, if you can stand it.

Of course, it is all under the aegis of “protecting the planet”, but the real goal is to redistribute wealth before cutting off the head of the golden goose (actual industry)

It has nothing to do with CO2. The battle against CO2 emissions is a proxy they think will work, because they can’t come out and say they wish to destroy industry.

That is their real goal, to destroy industry, destroy economies, and plunge the world into poverty, famine, and war.

They are succeeding brilliantly.

Totally called it. They are going all in on the “You can’t afford to live anymore, and that’s a good thing!” gaslighting.

That’s exactly it, in a nutshell.
