> Unfortunately, there is no evidence whatsoever that Kerry, the Squad, Pete Buttigieg, or any so-called “Pro-environment advocate” has any recognition or grasp of how vital the world’s mineral market is to America’s future and how great the environmental ramifications are as that sector is expanded to meet future demand. I think they completely understand what a pipe dream all of this green energy crap is. These are the same people who talk about "dismantling white supremacy" and "ending the patriarchy". When asked to define these concepts it really is the basis of western civilization such as freedom of speech, meritocracy, independence, and the like. As soon as there is no going back on the transition to electric cars and the like, they will declare mining of those resources is too damaging to the environment and people must stop buy electric cars. The elites will still travel around in private planes and on private yachts. Normal people will be forced into increasingly crowded cities filled with angry minorities. All the while our options will be to jump on ever more dangerous public transit or attempting to transit using a bike (which must be rented and never owned).
