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

I wonder if anyone can tell me what we are transitioning too? What is this magic green energy source?

What a pant-load of socialist BS. Some “conversation”. 😂
People will simply accept high prices because of taxes, and not high profit from oil companies? Wow.

Who wrote this crap? Are they being facetious or really believe that we will all just accept this plan and live the best we can and hope to survive?

The article is nothing more than idiot logic befitting idiot’s and their global warming/global climate change idiocy.

The government forces you with high gasoline prices to buy a ridiculously expensive EV, take government public transit, bicycle or walk. How well is that going to work? I doubt the electric grid in the UK is up to charging millions of EVs, especially when the Green idiots are forcing reliance on fickle wind and solar power for generating electricity. What about agricultural equipment that run exclusively on diesel fuel. Where are the electric tractors or combines? Forcing the people to give up their freedom to travel without any truly viable alternatives is tyranny.

global cost of living crisis

I stopped reading right there. Talk like that leads to global solutions and destruction of national sovereignty. Of course, that kind of thinking comes from a climate change nut job.

TigerClaws :" 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.

The administration is talking about issuing checks to the population to cover the increased taxes and costs of fuel.
This is nothing more than a gimmick that will occur coincidentally with the mid-term elections, ..and it solves nothing !
Only an incompetent ideologue would abruptly change from a petroleum based fuel economy, into an electric energy economy, with no allowance for "transition",
a term which this administration used when trying to explain the rise and highest inflationary spiral in 40 years.
All of these issues are man-made by governments and pseudo government organizations (WEF), and a lack of anticipation, planning, and preparing.
Issuing checks to the population remains a gimmick to make the government look better just before elections,
and it ignores the fact that government issuing checks is what caused high inflation in the first place.
You can educate the ignorant, but you can't fix intentional reoccurring stupidity.

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

It sure does feel good when you stop.

“First, consumers will not accept high prices if it means high profits for fossil fuel companies. Maintaining high prices for consumers must be complemented by a radical overhaul of the taxation regime facing fossil fuel companies, not just one-off windfall taxes. Those taxes would maintain high consumer prices even though the fossil fuel companies wouldn’t actually receive very much – enough to cover reasonable costs, but not enough to invest in further fossil fuel production”

The “experts” keep saying they want to eliminate carbon.

Guess what humans are primarily made of?

This is the real goal. Sacrifice humans to the Gia. Not much different than the sacrifices the Aztecs used to make.

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.

According to Algore we are already dead and have been for at least five years.

Re: This article.

Yes, this is propaganda but this author ADMITTED exactly what the globalists and Biden administration think and it explains what we are seeing.

The skyrocketing fuel prices isn’t by accident. This is part of the plan to wean us off fossil fuels over to... magic green energy.

AOC said the planet would end in 11 years. If they believe that, what isn’t justified? Taking over the economy to have it centrally planned by Green Czars.

People would object to that!

Not if gas is $20 a gallon and groceries are too expensive to buy.

This is the Great Reset.

To think it’s from fumbling or stumbling or accident is a mistake. We’ll have ‘transitory pains’ as we transition over to the Brave New World, but these are to be expected.

They’ll also thin out the herd of those previously self-reliant. “We will mail you a gift card to buy the expensive gas” = more inflation.

Collapse the system. Top down. Bottom up.

“You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy!”
