The existance of a modern society is entirely dependent upon the availability of cheap energy. It cannot exist without it.
Cities become unliveable if buildings can't be heated and cooled, if there is no lighting and no transportation.
Food, water and other goods and supplies can't be delivered from where they are produced to the people who need them.
The available land will not grow enough food for the world's population without modern, high energy farming methods.
Environmentalists are anti-energy. And for what? Some vague and questionable benefit.
European Union environmental laws have brought Great Britain, Spain, Germany and other European countries nearly to the point of having regularly scheduled power outages so many fossil fuel generating plants have been closed. Such energy planning might be acceptable for a third world country but a modern society can't exist like that. Environmentalists are anti-modern society, they are anti-human. They ought to be rebuked and proscribed.
Kudos to Australia, where the voters threw the crazy environmentals out on their ears and are in the process of killing the carbon tax and other idiotic laws they set up. The voters there finally got to see what the enviornmental agenda really is and what it would do and reacted appropriately.
