CFACT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Driessen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the evening of September 30, 1882, Henry Rogers turned a switch, and the Hearthstone Historic House<\/a> living room in Appleton, Wisconsin (my mother\u2019s hometown) was bathed in a soft amber glow. Hearthstone became the first home in the world lit by electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, few can imagine our lives without plentiful, reliable, affordable electricity\u2013for lights, computers, washers, dryers, dishwashers, heating, air conditioning, television, vehicles, hospitals, schools, factories, data centers, artificial intelligence, and more\u2013to light, improve, and sustain our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, nearly 750 million people still have no access to electricity. Billions more have minimal, sporadic access. The vast majority live in sub-Saharan Africa: 600 million with no electricity; hundreds of millions more with minimal or sporadic power. Many Asians and Latin Americans are similarly deprived. Often, electrification rates are high in cities but extremely low in the countrysides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incredibly, across much of Europe, millions of poor and middle-class families are also deprived. Many simply cannot afford electricity prices that have skyrocketed in the wake of coal, gas, and nuclear power plant closures, in favor of wind and solar installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Europeans no longer have jobs, because factories and entire industries that cannot afford<\/a> those prices closed down and sent their jobs to China and other coal-based-electricity nations. Still others are being told by climate-obsessed pressure groups, media, and political elites to light, heat, and cool only one room, wear more sweaters, and appreciate electricity when it\u2019s available, not gripe about its cost or absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Europe refuses to frack for oil and gas\u2026but imports Russian fuels, thereby sustaining Putin\u2019s war on Ukraine\u2019s citizens and civilian infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several U.S. states have also imposed Euro-style electricity rates, rolling or recurring blackouts, and economic disruption in the name of saving the planet from climate calamities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading, applauding, and demanding this insanity are the United Nations, European Union, International Court of Justice<\/a> (ICJ), multilateral anti-development banks<\/a>, non-governmental organizations, and even the now-defunct USAID<\/a>. They harp about climate emergencies, demand that countries switch to \u201cclean\u201d energy, and refuse to approve or finance fossil fuel projects even for Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ICJ recently asserted<\/a> that people have a \u201chuman right\u201d to a \u201cclean, healthy, sustainable environment\u201d \u2013 which, to the court, means no impacts from fossil-fuel-driven climate change. It said nothing about rights to reliable and affordable energy, modern healthcare, or decent living standards<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These proclamations and policies carry serious and often lethal consequences, especially for the world\u2019s poorest people. They excuse and justify policies that effectively keep families and nations mired in poverty, squalor, joblessness, disease, and malnutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Trump has excoriated the UN<\/a> for its \u201cbrutal\u201d climate and Net Zero policies. The rest of the world should do likewise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ICJ-defined right to a clean, healthy, sustainable environment also ignores the reality that \u201cclean energy\u201d requires extensive mining<\/a> and minerals processing, using fossil fuels and resulting in extensive toxic land, air, and water pollution. Much of this dirty work is done in the poor families\u2019 own backyards (because the elites want no mining or processing in their fiefdoms), and much of it involves child and slave labor<\/a>, no or substandard workplace safety rules, and rampant land and habitat desecration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The subsequent wind, solar, and transmission installations impact hundreds of times more crop, habitat, and scenic lands than coal or gas power plants that generate electricity in far greater quantities, far more reliably, and far less expensively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In India\u2019s Thar Desert, next to Pakistan, native species are being sacrificed on the climate crisis and clean energy altar. Solar panels already blanket over 200 square miles<\/a>; more than 2.5 million trees have been cut down to install them; and another 14,000 square miles of habitat (almost equal to Switzerland or half of South Carolina) could be clear cut for more panels, Vijay Jayaraj reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even ponds that once attracted pelicans and a dozen other species are covered with solar panels. Numerous other wild species are also struggling to survive as their habitats are destroyed. Cleaning and cooling the panels already requires the equivalent of 300,000 people\u2019s drinking water needs every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This destruction is happening all over the world. The ICJ still insists wind and solar power foster \u201cclean, healthy, sustainable, climate-friendly\u201d economies\u2013and ignores the privation it perpetuates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The limited, intermittent, unpredictable electricity from Climate Cabal-approved generators guarantees that the world\u2019s still-impoverished people will never have the appliances we take for granted. They may eventually have cell phones and laptops, a few lights, dorm-room refrigerators, and jobs maintaining \u201crenewable\u201d power systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they will never enjoy the modern healthcare, homes, and living standards that require 24\/7\/365 coal, gas, nuclear, or hydroelectric power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, before we let Net Zero fanatics in the Climate Industrial Complex inflict their lies, ideologies, and policies on people who\u2019ve never had an opportunity to enjoy\u2013much less reject\u2013the marvels of modern civilization, let\u2019s ask those prospective victims if they\u2019re okay with that version of a \u201cclean, sustainable\u201d future, with giving up their aspirations for the lives and wonders they see in movies and magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s find out whether they\u2019ve had a chance to speak with their European counterparts and inquire about how Europe\u2019s automotive, glass, pharmaceutical, and other industries are faring. How many workers still have jobs?<\/a> How many companies have moved their operations to China, India, or other faraway locales? How much do they enjoy living under the costs and restrictions imposed by EU politicians and bureaucrats?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eastern Europeans weren\u2019t overjoyed to exchange six years under the Nazis for 50 years under the benevolent people\u2019s republics of the Soviet Union. Poor families in Africa, Asia, and Latin America might not be equally unexcited about the prospect of swapping their current daily grinds<\/a> for the minimally better lives envisioned for them by would-be global ruling elites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps they will no longer have to live in mud-and-thatch huts, carry water from distant wells, cook over wood and dung fires that infect women and babies with lung diseases, get intestinal diseases from parasite-infected water and spoiled food, suffer from malaria and other insect-borne diseases, be treated in antiquated hospitals that don\u2019t even have window screens, and die decades before they should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how much better will their lives be under policies imposed by elites who decide their fates after flying private jets from one of their mansions to the next 5-star, UN-sanctioned climate or economic conference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world\u2019s poor don\u2019t just have a human right to truly clean, healthy, sustainable environments. They have a right to enjoy the benefits of affordable 24\/7 electricity, well-paid jobs, and all the modern appliances, healthcare, homes, prosperity, and 6,000+ products made from petrochemicals that most people in industrialized nations already enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they have the right to do so without being guilted and conned by phony claims that aspiring to such energy and lives will bring worsening storms and inundations from rising seas<\/a>, more forest fires, stressed blood supplies,<\/a> and other catastrophes conjured up by climate grifters and their political, academic, and media allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor and developing nations need to band together, finance their own energy infrastructure, development, health and prosperity\u2013and tell the carbon colonialists to take a hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
