And if you’ve followed the Covid discussion, and how could you not have, you know how dangerous this can be, how much open discussion is needed.
There are voices who say that the whole Covid thing was just a dress rehearsal meant to gauge how compliant people can be made, with the ultimate target being make them bend over and take it for the climate.

Wind and solar cannot ever replace oil and gas, but that is how they advertized.
