Net Zero a “stupid policy, with no basis in reality”

Carbon taxes causing price increases everywhere

In his October 13 update, Dan McTeague notes that “for gasoline and diesel, we’re seeing a bit of an uptrend in the prices and now a bit of a decrease as a result of a hedge funds playing games. I call it what it is, “manipulating” prices to short oil and gas. It’s not because they think there’s an opportunity to make money, it’s because they are following their  the dictates of those who believe that we can somehow get rid of fossil fuels like propane, natural gas, diesel, oil and of course, gasoline.

“All those things of course are significantly responsible for about 80 per cent of the world’s energy, and trying to get rid of them is a little bit like saying you only have to breathe once every two minutes in order to survive it: it can’t be done it, and it won’t be done.”

McTeague goes on to note while we need to get rid of the Carbon Tax, we also need to kill the idea that “Net Zero” emissions is worthy goal: “Net zero is a stupid policy, with no basis in reality,” he says.
