The Learjet liberals – the world's wokerati – flew into Glasgow, Scotland, to plot against gasoline, goshawks (birdies) and you.
The annual "Conference of the Parties" (COP26) as well as Joe Biden's plans for greenhouse-gas pollution reduction and clean-energy technologies demand the following reminders:
Gasoline is a glorious resource. Drilling for oil is the second-most efficient, cheapest – and hence cleanest – source of energy. "It requires only a narrow hole in the earth," explained the Wall Street Journal, "and is extracted as a highly concentrated form of energy" – it "is up to 1,000 times more efficient than solar energy, which requires large panels collecting a less-concentrated form of energy known as the midday sun. But even solar power is roughly 10 times as efficient as biomass-derived fuels like ethanol."
Enter the Chinese worker.
"You buy a Prius hybrid car and think you're saving the planet," divulged Lindsey Hilsum of PBS's "News Hour," "but each motor contains a kilo of neodymium and each battery more than 10 kilos of lanthanum, rare earth elements from China. Green campaigners love wind turbines, but the permanent magnets used to manufacture a 3-megawatt turbine contain some two tons of rare earth."
Mining for rare earth metals is a filthy undertaking. Hybrid hypocrites prefer by far that it be done by the poor villagers of the Baiyunkuang District of Darhan Muminggan in Inner Mongolia, northern China. There lie the largest deposits of rare earth metals.
The more efficient the source of energy, the less waste and pollution are involved in its conversion into energy. Think of the totality of the production process! The fewer resources expended in bringing a fuel to market, the cleaner and cheaper is the process.

We must get rid of battery operated automobiles.
If we fought like Democrats, we wouldn’t be arguing over which source of energy/production is cleaner, instead we’d be showing the most horrible pictures of mining that we can find and screaming at the top of our lungs:
“WHY DO DEMOCRATS WANT TO DESTROY BEAUTIFUL AMERICA WITH MORE MINING”
But we’re too classy for that, so we instead try to fight them with ‘logic’...never questioning their true motives.
Actually, it is the plan by elites to get us to give up gasoline automobiles FIRST and then tell us mass production of electric vehicles is impractical and harmful to the environment and too much of a drain on the grid for recharging their batteries.
Then, we will have NO PERSONAL VEHICLES and are their slaves. We will then be limited to travel only as far as we can walk or bicycle.
No cars means NO FREEDOM.
Refined gasoline is the most efficient method of energy storage the world has ever seen.

As long as the housewife can virtue signal to her friends is all that matters. Don’t confuse her with actual facts, she has an eart to save.
