World Economic Forum: Gas Prices Must Go Even Higher to Save Democracy
The World Economic Forum (WEF) released a position paper Monday that inexorably links two claimed global crises as one "climate change" and the "decline of democracy."
It says fighting the former can save the latter as long as consumers stop burning coal, oil, and gas in exchange for green renewables.
The WEF paper argues for the past 15 years, democracy has been in decline worldwide. To protect and promote freedom, "leading democracies must strengthen their economies and safeguard liberty."
It goes on to say ignoring progress toward a "low-carbon economy could put democracies in greater economic peril, not less" while repeating the broader demand of environmental activists for companies to stop investing fossil fuels.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has brought renewed focus on this economic weakness, the WEF says.
What is the answer for the U.S. and Europe? Pricing the alternatives to green energy out of the market. It says:
The paper goes on to argue that compliance can and must be enforced.
