It might be something about how the Elites will force Other People to do something, so says Excitable Warmist Bill McKibben
What Joe Biden’s Climate Plan Really Signals
When Joe Biden issued his extensive climate plan last week, there were endless analyses, including mostly positive reviews like those from the energy expert Julian Brave NoiseCat, who called it “a Green New Deal in our view, substantively,†and the Sunrise Movement, which had graded Biden’s primary-season plan an F, but now says that he’s “talking the talk,†and that a post-election mobilization will insure that he’ll “walk the walk.†The main opposition came from President Trump, who insisted that Biden, in his zeal for energy efficiency, had called for abolishing windows.
I don’t want to go deeply into the details of the plan here, because chances are that few of the proposals will get enacted in their precise form, but they seem a truly useful compendium of the mainstream and obvious ideas for an energy and conservation transition. And they provide a good roadmap by which to steer, even if that map avoids the most controversial areas of the debate. (The plan is especially quiet about the efforts that will be necessary to limit mining and drilling for fossil fuels.) The best way to understand them, I think, is as a loud signal in the ever-louder conversation among élites about the trajectory and the pace of that transition.
Huh. Bill doesn’t really have much else to say about Biden’s plan, so, I guess that is what it really signals. Elitists forcing other people to live their life in a certain way which they won’t, pay taxes they won’t, lose freedom and choice that they won’t.
