If technology creates clean energy faster for the same or a lower price, then it’ll win and businesses and individuals will switch from current sources quickly. The technology obviously isn’t there yet, but they want us to switch in a hurry now. Do you think we’ll do irreparable damage to the planet if we don’t switch now?

They think nothing of demonizing political opponents personally and destroying individual lives; it’s all part of the ends justifying the means.
In the short term, it’s a design for instability, to shake things up and break down traditional society. In the long run, they control.” P. 44 https://www.amazon.com/Economic-Clarity-Political-Confusion-Classical/dp/0578430215/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1547765974&sr=1-1
