Albo and his ship of deluded fools is not the only one taking us back to the stone age!!!

New South Wales is in for an energy nightmare, and it makes nodifference whether they vote Labor, Green, or Kean at the next election.
There is a plot underway to ban the purchase of all petrol and dieselcars and outlaw gas connections in new properties.
Too bad, I guess, when the next blackout comes along. I’ll be boilingwater on the stove and having a hot dinner – the rest of the state will bestaring at the darkness eating a packet of biscuits.
Before we get into the nonsense, I have a question for Labor’s AnthonyAlbanese.
If cutting our emissions in half by2030 is the government’s chief priority, why has Labor decided to import400,000 new people next year? How many services and privileges are the rest ofus going to lose in order to maintain our existing standard ofliving and endure the emissions cut with all these additional‘carbon units’ wandering around?
No really, Albanese. Are we saving the planet or pushing toward a ‘BigAustralia’ which requires ‘Big Infrastructure’ for your union mates?
As far as anyone can determine, the Labor government is deliberatelymaking the quality of life for Australians paper-thin so that we can becomfortably bundled up into a Treasury report.
The nonsense specific to NSW is coming out of the Committee for Sydneythinktank – also known as ‘a collection of people paid to sit around and makeeveryone’s lives miserable’.
The DecarbonisingSydney report reads more like aguide to return to the stone age:
Sam Kernaghan, the Committee’s ResilienceDirector, said the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s sixth assessmentreport (August 2021) had put an intense focus on what a warming world wouldlook like, and the need to accelerate climate action.
‘We still have time, but not much,’he said.
‘We can’t wait until 2050. We need toset ambitious and optimistic goals for 2030 – goals that show leadership andset the direction.
‘These actions will help Sydney play its part in combating ClimateChange, but they’ll also provide benefits to our communities, economy, andenvironment – from improved air quality to lower household bills and moreresilient energy grids that are better able to cope with the extremes ofweather that we can expect to face in coming years.’
Utter fantasy. The more ‘green’ our grid goes, the higher our energycosts climb. This is a worldwide pattern that some call ‘teething issues withtransition’ but the rest of name as ‘a permanent flaw’ that is opening like theMariana Trench beneath our feet.
The Sydney Committee’s plan is to funnel as much money as possible intothe billionaire renewables barons. If their business model is so successful,why are the increasingly poor public paying for it?
Why hasn’t anyone asked the Committee what they plan to do about globalshortages of raw materials that currently prohibit the creation of their energydreams?
It’s almost like the ‘thinktank’ didn’t ‘think’ about any of thereal-world practicalities and instead prefers to prattle off dangerous idiocyfrom their gilded city cages without having any clue that their comfort comesoff the back of coal, oil, and gas.
Their plan (if you can call it that) is to halve Sydney’s emissions by2030. We could probably achieve that by putting a stop on the flight plans andunnecessary mansions of Sydney’s richest businessmen and politicians, but in a‘do as I say, not as I do’ reality, only the peasants will suffer.
Banning gas to households is stupid and petty. The government is notdoing it to ‘save the planet’ – they are doing it because they desperately needthe gas reserves to prop up their failing renewables grid. They don’t want tocome out and say that because it involves admitting that solar and wind requirefossil fuels to work.
If politicians opened a few nuclear plants, citizens could have as muchcheap gas as they wanted, instead, panic is setting on the energy industry asunreliable renewables shake grid stability to its core.
If you do any sort of real work in this country, banning petrol anddiesel cars is going to be a catastrophe. The state government wants vehiclessales to be 100 per cent EV, but as of 2021, there were only around 10,000 inthe whole state (because no one wants them).
Aspointed out earlier, the world doesn’t have the resources to build these cars and Australia doesn’t have the power grid to charge them.
At the same time, NSW is pushing for solar on homes made from the samelimited resources that EVs require. The natural consequence is what we arealready seeing around the world – huge price increases in EVs and renwables.Their costs are growing in tandem and they have no price ceiling as resourcesdry up.
Owning your own car is soon to become a fantasy for the middle andworking classes.
The report says as much. One of their priorities is a ‘shift tocar-sharing’ that says:
‘In the future [of Sydney] people are going to use a car when they needone without having to own one. Car-sharing (as represented today by companieslike GoGet) and ride-sharing (as represented today by companies like Uber) arethe early examples. As the vehicle fleet evolves toward autonomous electriccars; it’s simply not going to make sense for people to own their own cars whenthey can summon one to get where they want to be at any time. The net resultwill be a massive gain of urban space as all of the street space and garagescan be converted to new uses. Sydney should do everything in its power tosupport this transition.’
They also want to see a ‘dynamic road pricing plan’ to make your trip tothe city even more unaffordable.
This will make the eco-fascists happy. Their goal is not to facilitate agreen ‘change’ to our transport sector, it’s to strip cars away from thepopulation to improve their Net Zero goals. While those penning these thinktanktravesties live in the middle of the cities, half a block from civilisation,everyone else in the country is going to have to go out and find themselves ahorse and cart – that is, provided you’re still allowed to own farm animals.
Where is the Liberal government? They are supposed to protect the peoplefrom this kind of selfish, reckless, bureaucratic garbage.
If you are wondering where all ofthis comes from, Kernaghan, the man behind the virtuous plan, worked with theChief Resilience Officers ‘across Australia, New Zealand and across Asia todevelop and implement comprehensive city resilience strategies as part of theRockefeller Foundation’s
Most of the links for the 100 Resilient Cities Network no longer goanywhere, with their webpages long-dead, just like our cities will be if wekeep pursuing the thought bubbles of Utopian ideologues.
