The Washington Examiner<\/a> is reporting today that former Vice-President Al Gore<\/a> wants to ‘decarbonize’ the world’s energy system.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Al Gore wants to reverse modernity and save the world from itself through an elimination of its fossil-fuel<\/a>-based energy system. During the final week of April, his newly created Energy Transitions Commission released a document setting forth a fool’s-errand pathway to “decarbonize” the world’s energy system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…But, don’t worry! The all-in estimated cost to re-engineer humanity is only a mere $15 trillion\u2014enough money to give every man, woman, and child in the United States<\/a> more than $46,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Al Gore has been demonizing fossil fuels<\/a> and attempting to marginalize all those involved in the traditional energy sector since 1988, the year the climate-change movement was rolled out in Washington, D.C<\/a>., which happened to correspond with a nationwide heatwave and with Yellowstone<\/a> in flames. Ever since, Gore’s pathway to political power and personal riches has been a successful one, to be sure, but his multi-trillion-dollar effort today is his most sophisticated effort to date. Unfortunately for him, it will also fail, because what he’s selling in his “new” proposal is bad for the people being asked to embrace it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The plan suggested by the former Vice-President would tax carbon use at $50 per ton and gradually increase to $100 a ton. This would essentially destroy the market for the continuing development of fossil fuel. Since the world’s economy runs on fossil fuel, this tax would be devastating to the world’s economy.<\/p>\n

I need to explain that I am concerned about keeping planet earth as clean as possible and providing the best living conditions for everyone living on the planet, but I don’t believe taxing carbon is the answer. I am also not impressed by those complaining about the carbon footprints of most Americans<\/a> while they live in mansions and travel in private jets to climate conferences??!!<\/p>\n

In August 2014, The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article which stated:<\/p>\n

The Environmental Protection Agency<\/a>\u2019s proposed global warming regulations aren\u2019t just about stemming global temperature rises \u2014 according to agency\u2019s chief, they are also about \u201cjustice\u201d for \u201ccommunities of color.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCarbon pollution standards are an issue of justice,\u201d said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy<\/a> in a teleconference call with environmental activists. \u201cIf we want to protect communities of color, we need to protect them from climate change.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you truly want to protect communities of color, you need to reform the welfare culture in those communities, and help the residents of those communities obtain the education and tools they need to be successful. You need to restore the two-parent family in all communities and bring back the values that made America great–hard work, equal opportunity (not equal results), honesty, respect for the law, and the concept of working together to help everyone reach their potential. We need to teach all Americans that nothing is free and that you can choose not to be a victim.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, hopefully Al Gore’s carbon tax will be dead on arrive in Congress and at the EPA.<\/p>\n
