Rather than gradually phasing out fossil fuels while investing in renewable energy research and development, Western green-energy revolutionaries have launched their own version of the Great Leap Forward in Europe and the U.S. Today’s greens operate in a democratic system unlike Mao, but they have resorted to government coercion to replace fossil fuels (and nuclear power) with renewables on an aggressive deadline. The European Union is set to cut greenhouse-gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, and the Biden administration promises to “achieve a 50-52 percent reduction from 2005 levels in economy-wide net greenhouse gas pollution in 2030.”
One of the essential lessons from China’s Great Leap Forward is that catastrophic failures inevitably follow from politicians’ insistence on ignoring reason, logic, truth and economics. Europe’s current energy crisis, California’s continuing power outages and Sri Lanka’s food shortages are all warning signs. The Green Leap Forward has set humanity on a fast track to another man-made catastrophe.

or you could take a minute to edit it.

Here's the 2 major points that put the "Greenies" in bizarro world and you NEVER hear "how"?

Where does the energy come from to source materials, transport, manufacture, deliver, construct, develope infrastructure and maintain wind and solar renewables?

Why would Western society risk devastating economic impact in developing green technology, that is NO WHERE near being able to match the massive energy needs required to function properly, when the world's LARGEST POLLUTERS have no intention of playing this silly game? It's a GLOBAL carbon emissions crisis, correct?

There is only 1 answer folks......more NUCLEAR or the status quo. Otherwise a lot of people are going to starve or freeze to death.

I'm assuming your second point / question was rhetorical.

The better answer would be to dial way back on the green energy initiatives, and continue to use gas, oil and coal in as clean a way as possible. Otherwise there is a chance this Dem led silliness could throw us into a full blown Depression.

That may be the goal…
