Australia’s energy crisis, due to expensive “green” energy, is partly hidden by the fact that most people live in areas where the climate is mild and the inability to afford heating or cooling only makes you uncomfortable, it doesn’t kill you. Also, in Australia, most people don’t seem to notice the shutdown of industry due to expensive green energy.

Video:
In the UK, “Bladerunner” from a popular crowd-sourced anti-ULEZ group takes down one the hated cameras designed to milk motorists dry.
ULEZ is an anti-car, anti-indivualist measure by the Left/globalists to reduce personal mobility/freedom under the guise of supposedly reducing air pollution.
Bladerunner uses a cordless saw.

Others do it with foam:

Needless to say, such civil disobedience is not legal but resistance against police states never is.

If Trump is elected, and he will be assuming an honest election, I wonder how much the world will remain committed to the wind and solar scam which he will unwind?
Unfortunately, they remained committed during his last term, especially in the fanatically woke UN/WEF compliant countries like Australia. They remained committed even though the US economy boomed under Trump, partly due to liberating low cost energy.
Cheap energy is one of the many reasons the Left hate Trump.

I learnt a new term … Scarcity Economics.
Heard a fellow, that claimed to be a former UN commissioner, say that the AGW/Renewable Energy thing was concocted by the IGO/NGO/UN types to create a Scarcity Economy.
I guess ‘cause abundance is anthropogenic.
In the New Religion, comfort is sin.
No air conditioning and minimal heat is the modern version of a hair shirt.
Seems to explain a lot.
Renewable energy isn’t supposed to work.

“In the New Religion, comfort is sin.”
Yes, but only for the hoi polloi, not for the people purveying the new religion such as the UN commissioner or the IGO/NGO/UN types.

Here is another video from the UK of a citizen resisting an illegal instruction from a police officer not to film their activities.
Maybe there is hope for the UK after all?
