Climate Depot's Morano: "COVID 2.0 has arrived?!

Climate Depot's Morano: "COVID 2.0 has arrived?! The 2022 International Energy Agency's (IEA) report sounds an awful lot like an energy version of COVID lockdowns. Instead of opening America back up for domestic energy production, we are told to suffer and do with less and are prescribed the same failed lockdown-style policies we endured for COVID. It is odd how COVID 'solutions' also allegedly helped the climate and now the same solutions are being touted to deal with Russia's invasion of Ukraine.  As a bonus, IEA tells us these measures will also help 'achieve vital climate goals.' Let's simplify this: The proposed 'solutions' to climate change, COVID, and now the Russian war are all exactly the same -- hammer the poor and middle class with more restrictions on travel, less freedom, and even more surrendering of power to unelected government regulators.  This new 2022 report from IEA comes follows their 2021 report urging a form of climate lockdowns to battle global warming. The 2021 IEA report called for 'behavioral changes' to fight climate and 'a shift away from private car use' and 'upper speed limits' and thermostat controls; limits on hot water & more!."
