World Economic Forum: Give Up Car Ownership To Make Electric Dream Reality
The World Economic Forum has decreed the West should give up the idea of owning personal vehicles, smartphones and computers in order to effect a rapid revolution away from fossil fuels and toward green energy.
“We need a clean energy revolution, and we need it now,” the WEF asserts. “But this transition from fossil fuels to renewables will need large supplies of critical metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, to name a few.”
Shortages of those materials, World Economic Forum Responsible Sourcing lead Winnie Yeh writes, “could raise the costs of clean energy technologies.”
While these metals are found across the world, with 8 million tons in Chile, 2.7 million tons in Australia, 2 million tons in Argentina, and 1 million tons in China – 2018 estimates suggested 14 million tons is available worldwide – mining the material appears relatively slow going.
51,000 tons were mined in Australia in 2018, compared to 16,000 tons in Chile, 8,000 tons in China, and 6,200 tons in Argentina. Assuming these countries continued at that rate of production, it would take over 172 years to exhaust the estimated total supply.
There are three possible solutions to the shortage of critical rare earth minerals, writes Yeh, but the most important is that people in the West “go from owning to using” vehicles and electronic devices.
Yeh argues that people with an extra “mobile phone” or “an unused hard drive” or a vehicle that is “driven just 4% of the time” are “not at all resource sufficient.”

Now they are OPENLY stating their goals……the elimination of private transportation. The “environment” is the excuse. CONTROL is the actual reason. Peasants and serfs don’t pose much of a threat to the wealthy power elite when they
CAN’T TRAVEL FREELY. DEATH TO KLAUS SCHWAB and every member of the WEF. It’s the only solution to the
problem…..their assault on freedom.
as they say and HAVE SAID in the Republic of Texas:
“COME AND TAKE IT!” MFs
…my shit is NOT your shit…
got me plenty of carbon to “share” with you (75% worth) if you plan to take my pickup truck:
2 KNO3 + S + 3 C → K2S + N2 + 3 CO2
