Anti-Drilling/Fossil Fuel

Follow This is a group of 8,000 far-left, radical investors who want to shut down the oil and gas industry by using big money invested in O&G companies to force board changes and new policies aimed at forcing “Big Oil” to self-harm. Follow This’ twisted vision of the future is forcing humanity back to Medieval Times when no oil and gas and plastics existed. Back to the time when humans lived to be about 35-40 years old and then died from disease or famine. Follow This and their ilk were having some success in forcing oil and gas companies to engage in self-harming activities (selling off assets, reduced drilling, investing in unreliable renewables, etc.). But since the pandemic and (now) since the war in Ukraine, many of the “advances” made by Follow This have evaporated.

Yesterday MDN brought you the news that Ohio Congressman Troy Balderson, Republican representing Ohio’s 12th Congressional District, recently introduced a resolution that officially recognizes American natural gas as a “green and clean” energy source (see Bill Sponsored by Ohio Congressman Designates NatGas “Green & Clean”). The left insists on forcing people to stop using the word “natural” when referring to natural gas, and instead call it fossil gas or some other cockamamie thing. The left thinks by changing the language they can change the debate and how people perceive natural gas. We spotted a column addressing that very issue.

Perhaps it was the jet lag. Perhaps it was a miscued teleprompter. Or perhaps the battery went dead in the little earpiece so he couldn’t hear what his handlers were telling him to say. Any way you slice it, in a moment of rare candor, President Biden openly admitted, at a press conference in Japan, that high prices for gasoline and other fossil fuels are intentional–part of “an incredible transition” to the renewable nirvana future that he and other demented leftists insist on forcing upon everyone else. The “incredible” comment means Biden is excited about it–looking forward to it. You read that right. Biden admitted, with a slip of the tongue, that high gasoline prices are part of the process–i.e. they are intentional.

Last May (one year ago) the International Energy Agency (IEA) and its Executive Director Fatih Birol published a nonsensical “report” called “Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector” (see Intl Energy Agency Says World Should Stop All New O&G Development). In the report, IEA made the preposterous claim that if the world (i.e. the U.S.) doesn’t stop all new drilling for oil and gas immediately, the earth will toast itself into oblivion by 2050. But then in February of this year, that same IEA and Birol told OPEC+ it needs to drill like crazy to produce more oil (see IEA Says OPEC+ Not Producing Enough Oil, After Preaching No New Oil). The bipolar pendulum has swung again. Now Birol says the Russian invasion of Ukraine should not be an excuse for large-scale fossil fuel investments.

The world’s so-called leaders will meet in Stockholm, Sweden, on June 2-3 to commemorate the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment and celebrate 50 years of failed global environmental action. It will be another attempt at establishing a Green World Order–subjugating all of humanity under the banner of “saving” us from global warming. It’s all a sham, of course. Stockholm+50, as it’s called, is the rise of the parasitic New Communism using the environmental movement as its host. Here’s something for the delegates at Stockholm+50 to consider and debate: How will the world react to half of its population, around 4 billion people, dying from starvation if fossil energy is outlawed?
