Electric vehicle pioneer Elon Musk called for more drilling and exploration of fossil fuel resources in the immediate future on Monday, warning that humanity could be in trouble if the transition to lower-carbon energy sources is rushed.

"Realistically, I think we need to use oil and gas in the short term, because otherwise civilization will crumble," the Tesla CEO told reporters at a conference Stavanger, Norway.

I think that’s the idea Einstein. The great reset is the great herd reduction act. Chaos, Mayhem, looting, famine, disease, war, etc......and yes crumbling.

Talk about crumbling civilization, that’s the exact thing the jackasses on the extreme far left are doing.

No shiite. The greenies are going to steam roll us if we don’t stop them. They are on a roll, or think they are. Either way, they’re fired up.

The only bright spot in this is that California, Maryland, New York, Michigan, and Illinois, will be ground zero ahead of the rest. Our Canaries in the coal mine alert system.

Those are my SHTF sirens. They are all about a few microns from their tipping points.

The global ‘crumble’ is fast approaching and the only one’s that will marginally get through it will be those nations with resources.

Here we go again. I just complained yesterday that my Michigan had the lettuce in the Wendy’s food spreading e.coli mainly in Michigan and nearby states.

Then the Indiana oil transportation line broke down and may cause Michigan to have zooming prices.

And now Michigan is in line with the filthy state of California to crumble.

Like Tevye said to God in Fiddler on the Roof when more bad news for the Jewish Chosen People was heaped onto them in Russia: “Can’t you choose somebody else for a little while?”

Yes but California will have the world’s largest Lithium reserves. All above ground and sitting still, bought and paid for twice.
