Excerpts: Morano warns of “a new form of colonialism…The white wealthy western world telling 1.6 billion people in developing world — predominantly of color — that they have to have their economies managed, their energy managed all because of climate fears.” […]
“Al Gore is right, it is a moral issue. The morality of this is we need to get energy cheap and affordable to people across the world so they can leave the nasty brutish and short life’ of poverty […] Carbon based energy has been of the greatest liberators of mankind in the history of our planet.”
