"The Left is opposed to the internal combustion engine, to burning wood, to burning coal, to wind farms, to dams, to burning garbage and to nuclear power plants. From where do they expect an industrial civilization to obtain the energy needed to keep running? I guess it must be hot air but they want to ban that too. "
They don't expect an industrial revolution. That means they will be left behind as we have seen. The left wants us all to be equal, living in huts, singing kumbayah.
