Global warming alarmists will not welcome winter's potential deep freeze in 2018, but predictably, they will figure out a way to blame it on global warming anyway. No amount of evidence to the contrary will change their mind, which proves that they have turned their position into a religion.
Technocrats at DARPA, the NSA and the CIA were early funders of various social media companies, on the basis of creating a total awareness society. This article is a must-read to understand the modern state of total surveillance and mass data collection.
The battle between Technocrats and governments will heat up to fever pitch. Governments want Big Tech's data and Technocrats hate politicians. There is no easy out. Technocracy's Utopian dream is exclusive to Technocrats, who believe only they possess the technology to pull it off.
The global nature of energy insanity (all continents, both hemispheres) demonstrates the orchestrated push for global Technocracy, which cannot exist without a fully controllable pool of energy. Thus, fossil fuel is the enemy because it is abundant, cheap and uncontrollable.
California lawmakers and their radical environmental followers seem to all live in an alternative universe where the goal is to destroy every abundant and cheap source of energy and replace it with projects that are doomed to fail even before they are started.
Colorado says it must invest $2.5 billion for renewable energy capacity in order to save ratepayers $213, and people fall for it. The fact is, consumer rates have consistently gone up, some radically so, whenever alternative energy is introduced to the mix. These promoters are reminiscent of carnival barkers at a county fair.
