City council members will cap its 21,000 residents to just six stations - One legislator who voted said they felt an 'obligation' to fight global warming 

'We have an obligation to take every step possible to address the changes to our climate that are ravaging our planet and directly impacting the health, well-being and livelihoods of the constituents we represent in Louisville,' council member Maxine Most said. ... The suburb, around 20 miles outside of Denver, currently has five gas stations, and although a sixth was recently approved for development, the resolution could make that facility its last. 

'We should be taking whatever incremental steps to not create additional fossil fuel infrastructure,' said the councilmember, who also serves on the city's Economic Vitality Committee. Most added: "I understand that there are negative consequences for certain parties when we make these sorts of decisions. But I personally believe we are well past the point where we have that luxury. If we’re really committed to sustainability and we really recognize there’s a climate crisis, that means every time we have the choice to do something about it, we need to do something about it.”

CNN: Newspapers described the election outcome this week as a “monster victory” for the Farmer-Citizen Movement, which has enjoyed support from sections of society who feel unsupported by Rutte’s VVD party.

Rachel Campos-Duffy: Here to react publisher at ClimateDepot.com and author of The Great Reset, Marc Morano. Marc, tell me why we have our Energy Secretary touting China as the example on climate change and environmentalism.

Morano: "This is right out of a Seinfeld episode. This is Bizarro World. It's the exact opposite of what you would expect. China, which is literally 50% of the world's coal production. China, which brags, 'oh, we're doing solar, wind'. They're building solar and wind using rare earth mining, using human rights violations, using the worst environmental standards around the world, in order to sell to the West, not to use themselves. Their percentage of solar and wind is tiny. So the idea that we're supposed to be modeled after them kind of reminds me that [Biden Energy Sec. Sec. Granholm] not talking about in energy, or is she talking about politically? ... 

We all modeled ourselves after China when it came to the lockdowns. We copied what China was doing with COVID lockdowns with World Health Organization, and the rest of the world like lemmings jumped off a cliff. ... Our ruling class, academia, and media elites, have done nothing but praise China. They've lusted after China's one-party authoritarian rule...And here's what the kicker is. The COVID lockdowns gave the once-free West the opportunity to finally have what they dreamed of:  Chinese one-party-style authoritarian rule as the most consequential decisions of our lifetime -- whether we go to school, work, church, weddings, funerals medical care, stay-at-home orders -- were decided without an ounce of democracy, it was all done to emergency decree. This is what our power-hungry politicians love. So when I hear Jennifer Granholm praising China, I know it's not for environmentalism that makes no sense. I think it's for their politics and their politics of absolute control because that's where we're all moving. In the once-free West. That's what we're copying now."

Ed Ring: By now it should be beyond serious debate that “renewable” energy cannot possibly scale adequately to replace fossil fuels. Worse still, renewable energy systems are even less sustainable than fossil fuels and cause more environmental destruction. Renewables also fail to offer significant reductions in carbon emissions, and in some cases actually cause more carbon emissions. Why these facts are dismissed by America’s elites is a story of corruption, collusion, megalomania, greed, cowardice, intellectual negligence, and delusional mass psychosis. ...

Americans face a future of perpetual scarcity: rationed, algorithmically micro-managed access to energy, punitive pricing for energy use over government mandated thresholds, and a wasteland of landscapes ruined by solar farms, wind farms, battery farms, distribution lines, open pit mines, evaporation ponds, and dumps; all the destructive consequences of industrial scale “renewables” development. At this rate, the blind rush to eliminate fossil fuel and rely solely on renewables will cause catastrophic worldwide shortages of energy, spawning deadly poverty and desperate wars. ... Renewables in their current form will never deliver enough energy to sustain a prosperous human civilization. But they will destroy the earth. Wind farms, onshore and offshore, wreak havoc with insect, avianand marine life, and building them will consume more cement than the world can possibly supply.

Mayor Jan van Zanen of The Hague said he could indeed authorize the use of military equipment to remove blockades or tractors in his city on March 11. On that date, the upcoming Saturday, both climate activists and farmers are set to demonstrate in the Zuid-Holland city. "I am not going to rule out the possibility that Defense equipment will be deployed. That is available if necessary," he said in an interview with De Telegraaf. He has also asked police forces elsewhere in the country to provide officers to assist. "We cannot handle this alone," Van Zanen told De Telegraaf. "Also to ensure that the demonstrations are safe." Farmers' organization Farmers Defense Force (FDF) hopes to attract 100,000 people for a demonstration in the Zuiderpark in The Hague next Saturday.

Climate Depot's Morano comment: "Mayor van Zanen appears to be following Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's tyrannical Great Reset approach to stomping out protests. Our high-yield agricultural system is being intentionally collapsed to create man-made food shortages and chaos, and the ability to eat meat is being banned to compel us to eat 'lab-grown' fake meat and eat insects. Artificially caused food shortages will create demand for insect eating.  And our betters are using our children as hand-picked little ministers of propaganda to promote insect eating and 'pester' adults to comply with the agenda.

Ford Motor Co. has applied for a patent to make remote car repossessions nearly seamless for lenders — and deeply unpleasant for car owners in default, who may endure an “incessant” sound, sweat out disabled air conditioning, and eventually get locked out of their car. ... The patent described steps to trigger if an owner ignores overdue notices, starting with those meant to cause “an additional level of discomfort to a driver and occupants of the vehicle” by disabling nice-to-have features like air conditioner, remote key fobs, and the automated door lock-and-unlock system. Another step described in the remote-repo patent application included prompting the car’s audio system to “emit an incessant and unpleasant sound every time the owner is present in the vehicle.” The repo system would control various ways “to make the sound unpleasant,” and ensure that the owner could not “turn it off without first making contact with the lending institution.”

Marc Morano: "A Great Reset future? Is it plausible that under a declared 'climate emergency', government/corporate collusion could shut down your car instantly if you drive too much?"

If it worked with COVID restrictions, why wouldn't governments try again with climate issues?, asks Climate Depot's Marc Morano.

Speaking about how a large percentage of the population — especially those in positions of government authority — complied with seemingly ridiculous pandemic requests like double masking, Marc Morano told Ezra: "If you don't support the UN Paris agreement now or the green New Deal the message of this study is you are a you are a killer with guns. This is instead of being like if you don't wear a mask you're a grandma killer.  If you don't support lockdowns, you're a grandma killer. Now if you don't support climate mitigation measures you're killing 8 000 people because of the increase in gun violence.

It's the same thing they're doing with COVID and climate. They're now saying that unchecked climate change leads to more viruses, so if you don't support a WHO pandemic treaty for example, you are now a grandma killer because of that. So what this is doing is its creating a template, a narrative among that 40% — and here's the key, this is the part that kills us, Ezra. These aren't an inconsequential 40%, these are generally the academic elite ruling class and the people in bureaucracy, governments, cabinets, prime ministers, presidents, their staff and, sadly, most of our elected officials. That's the problem."
