Bill Gates: Energy Crisis is Good

While Europeans face the prospect of not being able to afford
to heat their homes this winter, Bill Gates has declared that the
energy crisis is a "good" thing because society will be forced
to transition to "clean energy" sooner.
Touting his Breakthrough Energy Ventures climate-technology
(carbon tax) investment company, Gates told CNBC "People did
get a little optimistic about how quickly the transition could be
done. Without the Russian natural gas being available in Europe…
it's a setback," Gates continued.
"We need to find non Russian hydrocarbon sources to substitute
for those so there's coal plants running and variety of things,
because, you know, keeping, you know, people warm, keeping
those economies in decent shape is a priority," Gates asserted.

Gates published a "State of the Energy Transition," Tuesday,
declaring that it should be the responsibility of countries such
as the United States which have prospered from burning fossil
fuels to move to completely decarbonize all sectors of the
economy.
He writes "Many countries in Europe and North America filled
the atmosphere with carbon to achieve prosperity, and it is both
unrealistic and unfair to expect everyone else to forgo a more
comfortable life because that carbon turned out to change the
climate."
Gates also writes "I don't think the market by itself can press
reset on an entire economy in just a few decades," adding "We
need a plan to speed the process up."
Which is interesting, considering Gates is on record admitting
to his inner circle that "clean energy" does not actually solve the
so-called climate crisis. So why is the global elites so desperate
to make the transition?
