Self-dealing wealthy elites, green operatives, and the Democratic Party machine are all working towards one goal. And that goal ain't saving the planet, folks.


Fox News (4/20/24) reports: "A secretive climate activist group with significant financial backing is quietly taking on a more prominent role advocating against natural, gas-powered appliances, like stoves. The Gas Leaks Action Campaign — which appears to have been first established in late 2021 or early 2022 — recently launched a $1 million ad campaign warning of the dangers posed by natural gas, the largest-ever effort of its kind. The group states on its website that natural gas harms the environment, pollutes the air inside homes and makes stoves 'constantly at risk of explosion.' The group has also spearheaded a campaign against the American Gas Association (AGA), the nation's leading industry group representing natural gas providers. At a Washington, D.C. event earlier this month, Gas Leaks hosted Sens. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., along with several environmental groups like the Sierra Club to blast the AGA's lobbying activities...'The only thing green about today’s environmental movement is the billions in cash that flow freely between lefty billionaires, their operatives in the green movement, and the politicians who do their bidding,' said Tom Pyle, president of the Institute for Energy Research, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit. 'Their campaign to ban natural gas stoves is yet another example of the nexus between self-dealing wealthy elites like Mark Heising, green pressure groups like the Rocky Mountain Institute, and the Democratic Party machine.'"

"Today’s all-powerful bureaucracies might ban the sale of gas-powered cars, or even the sale of gasoline itself. But in all fairness, we must understand the bureaucrats’ predicament.  Such draconian edicts are all they have because governments cannot dictate what consumers want."

I can think of a lot of things to describe Lisa Murkowski, but 'ecocidal pyromaniac' was not on the bingo card. These people need some serious healing.  


Daily Wire (4/18/24) reports: "A fanatical environmentalist group claimed it wrecked a gala at which Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski was to be honored by a major oil company and called her a 'murderer' and an 'ecocidal pyromaniac.' A video posted by the group Climate Defiance, a self-proclaimed 'youth-led group using direct action to resist fossil fuels,' showed people storming a stage and tussling with other participants at the event. 'We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski,' the group tweeted. 'Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron’s top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony. Respect us or expect us.'"

I love to give a good Earth Day speech. Then I like to fly back to the White House on Marine One. What's with AOC and older men, anyway? I thought she was engaged.

Team Biden's grand plan:  fewer cars for American families, made in China.


Substack (4/23/24) article: "Biden's de facto mandate of over 50% EVs by 2032 is a dictatorial attack on the American driver and the US grid that will 1. Force Americans to drive inferior cars. 2. Place massive new demand for reliable electricity on a grid that is declining in reliable electricity supply...Biden's EV mandate will also make us dependent on foreign supply chains. A crash EV mandate means a rapid, artificial increase in mining, processing, and manufacturing. Since US regulations are hostile to development, this means more dependence on others, especially China. The 'Inflation Reduction Act' promised additional subsidies for manufacturers who sourced their materials from inside the US, a protectionist policy to build up domestic supply chains. But Biden systematically blocked US mining opportunities."
