Sen. Elizabeth's Warren's energy deprivation plan for America: No new houses or buildings, 'zero carbon' cars & electricity production & no drilling on federal lands and no nuclear energy. 

“What scares me is every time you go back to the scientists, they tell you two things,” the senator said. “It’s worse than we thought, and we have less time.“ That means we’ve got to be willing to do things, for example, like regulation. By 2028, no new buildings, no new houses, without a zero carbon footprint.” And she’s coming for your car and electricity bill, too.“By 2030, trucks — light-duty trucks and cars, zero carbon footprint. By 2035, all production of electricity, zero carbon footprint,” Warren said.

“We do three regulations, we can cut our carbon footprint by 70 percent,” she said...“We’re not going to build any nuclear power plants and we’re going to start weaning ourselves off nuclear energy and replacing it with renewable fuels,” she said during CNN’s mammoth climate town hall back in September.

The Green assault on home ownership: ‘We need to seriously question the ideal of private homeownership’ - UCLA Prof.: "Cheap energy is untenable in the face of a climate emergency. And individual homeownership should be seriously questioned."

"Cheap energy is untenable in the face of a climate emergency. And individual homeownership should be seriously questioned."

UCLA urban planning professor Kian Goh, in an op-ed in the far-left magazine The Nation, wrote that "if we want to keep cities safe in the face of climate change, we need to seriously question the ideal of private homeownership." ...

Some politicians have also jumped at the opportunity to propose a future without single-family homeowners. Maryland state legislator Vaughn Stewart wants to eliminate zoning regulations that protect single-family neighborhoods and instead mandate construction of tenements that will destroy property values in those “high-opportunity” neighborhoods. ...

Academics like Professor Goh are blaming climate change in part on home ownership itself. Goh opines: “Cheap energy—both the monetary price of subsidized gasoline and the hidden costs of fossil fuels—and the idealization of individual homeownership have created the scorching landscapes we face today. Cheap energy is untenable in the face of a climate emergency. And individual homeownership should be seriously questioned.”

Sen. Warren Seeks To Ban Construction of New Homes in America Unless They Are ‘Zero Carbon Footprint’

Virginia House Del. Ibraheem Samirah introduced a bill that would override local zoning officials to permit multi-family housing in every neighborhood, changing the character of quiet suburbs.

Oregon passed a similar bill, following moves by cities such as Minneapolis; Austin, Texas; and Seattle.

Proponents say urban lifestyles are better for the environment and that suburbs are bastions of racial segregation.

Morano to UN Sec Gen. Guterres: "Please give up. Controlling the climate is Futile. Be honest. What you and the UN really seek is controlling people and economies. We will never give up fighting your bullshit." ... "This is great news! Anytime the UN climate agenda fails, science and humanity win!"

Flashback: UN Picks former president of Socialist International As New Secretary-General (Antonio Guterres)

There they go again. A new paper relying on modeling rather than real-world observations, claims global warming is creating a food production crisis. The media are breathlessly promoting the doom-and-gloom paper, even as global food production reaches yet another new record.
