Wealth is, at its most fundamental level, measured by how much energy you can command. The more energy you have access to the richer you are, individually, as a business, as a society.

This effort to make energy less available, less reliable, and more expensive is at a level of societal insanity comparable to that which overwhelmed the Xhosa in 1856 when the prophetess of doom, Nongqawuse, convinced them that salvation lay in destroying all their cattle and crops. It did not turn out well for them then. It will not turn out well now.

Turning our backs on cheap, plentiful energy from any source is just as bad a move.

Keeping them Impoverished and ANGRY and BLAMING the people on the RIGHT that would LOVE to get them out of Poverty!

The wealthy elite desire to remain mega wealthy IN CONTRAST to the rest of the world, so allowing the rest of the world’s population enjoy the luxuries of abundant and well stored food, clean water, comfortable shelter, etc. they (rich Al Gore and Co.) came up with a scam to “handle” the redistribution of wealth at a 90% commission rate and outlaw the affordable technology that enables a better part of the globe to keep out of the stone age.

It’s not living well, but the visible contrast to the rest of the world (the peasants) that the rich elite desire.
