The World Economic Forum is pushing for a global
transition away from private ownership of vehicles and other "idle
equipment" as part of a "clean energy revolution,” itself part of the
Great Reset.
In a recently released report, the Swiss-based
international lobbying group stated that "transition from fossil fuels to
renewables will need large supplies of critical metals such as cobalt, lithium,
nickel." But the report noted that shortages of these critical metals are
likely to make renewable fuel technologies prohibitively expensive.
The report highlighted a couple of options, but
downplayed both as essentially unworkable, saying: "One obvious route is
to mine more virgin material, but this comes with its own costs and potentially
unintended consequences. Another solution commonly discussed is to recycle more
and use the metals already in circulation. The complication is that we do not
currently have enough metals in circulation, and even with recycling taken into
consideration, mineral production is still forecasted to increase by
nearly 500%." (Which, in my opinion, would be a low estimate.)
Having set the parameters of any debate, the WEF
report got down to the heart of the matter, its raison d’être. It listed
three proposals geared toward building a "fully
circular economy" in order to reduce demand for critical metals, which are
used in cellphones, electric vehicles, wind turbines, and many other technologies.
The first of these is the most important, and surely
the most arousing to the likes of Klaus Schwab (son of a former member of
several National Socialist, i.e. Nazi, organizations) and his ilk. The report
argues that private ownership
of vehicles and electronic devices, et. al., is wasteful and inefficient, and
that we must “go from owning to using.”
It further notes, "The average car or van in
England is driven just 4% of the time,” and adds, “While most already have a
personal phone, 39% of workers globally have employer-provided laptops and
mobile phones. This is not at all resource efficient." Right. No one
should be allowed to own more than one of anything.
Memo to the WEF: one doesn’t
live in one’s house, condo or apartment every hour of every day, but that
doesn’t mean we shouldn’t own one…or that it is “resource inefficient.” And how
often do we use our toasters? Five minutes a day? That would be about
three-tenths of one percent of the time. Our blenders? Washing machines,
dryers? Televisions? Most folks don’t use their heat for several months
out of the year. The same goes for air-conditioning. I guess we should get rid
of all these “idle, wasteful, and inefficient items,” too. Maybe we could call
for a toaster, washing machine or T.V.-- if and when we need one.
Precisely the thing, the
report states! For example, it suggests the dramatically expanded use of "car sharing platforms" that let users briefly
rent vehicles rather than own them. And it says a fundamental transformation of
the way things and systems-- including entire cities-- are designed is a
necessary part of this “revolution.”
To wit: "To enable a broader transition from
ownership to usership, the way we design things and systems need to change too.
For example, car sharing is made possible by new keyless unlocking features.
Similarly, user profiles that create a distinction for work and personal use on
the same device is needed to reduce the number of devices per person. A design
process that focuses on fulfilling the underlying need instead of designing for
product purchasing is fundamental to this transition. This is the mindset
needed to redesign cities to reduce private vehicles and other usages.”
And that was just the first proposal.
The second proposal was to have consumers keep things
longer before buying a new one to replace them. For example, the report
observed that keeping a smart phone for five years instead of three could
reduce the phone's annual carbon footprint by 31%.
The third proposal? The WEF wants to encourage the
repurposing of technologies that no longer can perform their original function into
doing something else. For example, a retired battery from an electric vehicle could
be refurbished to power streetlights.
The report acknowledges that implementing these
solutions would require a dramatic upheaval of worldwide economies but claims
that failing to make them would harm the environment.
You know what else would harm the environment? Non-elites’
environment? The utter devastation of worldwide economies and the resulting
poverty, illness, disease, chaos, conflict, and hopelessness that would be sure
to follow.
Transitioning from fossil fuels to “sustainable”
energy, at least via proposals like the WEF’s, will require those of us that
aren’t wealthy and famous to give up our rights to private ownership…and probably
everything else. That’s not sustainable. Or shouldn’t be. Will we meekly
go along with this—or fight back? At this late stage, even if we fight back, we
may lose and be forced to comply. But “this dude doesn’t abide.”
The WEF thinks we all need to get rid of everything
we own. Per Herr Schwab, we are supposed to own nothing and be happy about
it. WEF types purport to believe that, rather than being a key to liberty, private
property is evil…and reeks of white supremacy! Can’t we all just share our
things?
I will share one thing with these tyrannical Marxist
asshats who would run—and ruin—our lives: they can kiss my ass any time they
want to.
