I was listening to some alternative news this morning. One of the articles was the real reason for the high fuel prices was the United States is shutting down refineries.
In other words, there is plenty of oil but there is a limit on the amount of oil that can be refined due to the lack of refineries that were open.
Should you research how much renewables are providing in terms of energy, you’ll find 84% of the world relies on fossil fuels for their electricity and transportation needs. Additionally, here in Ohio, only 0.78% of the energy needed for the state is generated by renewables. In other words, fossil fuels provide 99%, or 99/100ths of the energy needed to live a modern life.
Think of it this way. Only 16% of the world’s population would have sufficient energy supplies should we go green. The remaining 84% of the world’s citizens, or 6.72 billion people, would not have sufficient energy to meet their needs.
Over time, even the “elite 16” would not have sufficient energy as they would not have the infrastructure we had as recently as 2020 to mine rare earths and metals, refine these rare earths and metals, provide the fuel to manufacturing and manpower to turn these raw materials into its final form, manufacture items out of these refined metals, and ship these products the world over for consumption.
In short, the “Elite 16” are massively reducing their own lifestyle, possibly to the point these elites are living no better than people were 150-200 years ago.
So the elites are so driven to be the kings and queens of the world they are willing to kill off most of the tools that make modern society possible.
And we, by and large, are letting them.
