The late Professor Antony Sutton wrote Energy: The Created Crisis in 1977, which coincided with the beginning of the alternative energy industry. The object was to control energy and hence, the economy. Now we know that controlling the economy meant destroying it and replacing it with Sustainable Development, aka Technocracy.
Sustainable Development, aka Technocracy, must destroy Capitalism and free market economics in order to control all production and consumption. Global hostility is rising with national leaders saying Capitalism 'No longer works". Fools who buy this tripe will soon learn what this means: "You will own nothing and be happy."
Technocracy seeks to destroy the political layer of society in favor of direct scientific dictatorship. Think China. Paper ballots and hand counting is easy but not for Technocrats who are compelled to complicate everything with technological solutions that don't work and cannot be trusted.
