Vox’s new “genius” idea: cut off fossil fuel supplies

Taylor MillardPosted at 2:41 pm on April 6, 2018

The Vox #fancystats eggheads are at it again with a proposal they’re sure will save the environment: cut off the supplies of fossil fuels. David Roberts writes the Restricted Supply Side idea is a really good one and believes it could actually help (!?!?!?!?!) the economy. His particular notation is a study done by London School of Economics and Political Science professor Fergus Green (rather aptly named) and Richard Denniss at Australia Institute. What’s interesting is the fact Green and Denniss don’t 100% believe it’s feasible, at the moment, and also admit to putting oil, coal, and gas in the same bucket when it comes to “the relative strengths of supply-side policies vary among fossil fuel-types.” It doesn’t mean the two aren’t planning to try to convince environmentalists to add supply restrictionist policies to their framework.

They say this on computers full of petroleum based products, sitting at desks and chairs made from petroleum based products, drinking a Starbucks latte with a cup that contains petroleum based products and food coloring with, guess what, petroleum based products, chatting on an iPhone with petroleum based products, powered by electricity which is still 70% generated by petroleum based products.. and so on and so on and so on....

The Spawn of Stalin care not about such petty things. There's only consfiscation and elimination of anything and anyone not going along with the agenda, consequences be damned.

The article is written by a dimwit.

The people they need to convince is everyone BUT environmentalist wackos.

Do they understand that mass starvation would occur almost immediately?

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

They want a feudal society with themselves as the lords who get all modern conveniences.
