Fox & Friends panel claims promoting electric cars will “make children in Africa de facto slaves to make Pete Buttigieg’s dream come true”

CHARLES PAYNE (FOX Company HOST): You know, as undesirable it is here, I say appear abroad, seem at what is going on in Europe, notably in Germany. I do not — you know, listen, some of these things audio good on paper, some of these factors seem wonderful when a professor’s conversing about it. In actual lifetime, we are conversing about in the degree of agony, we’re chatting about likely backwards in this region.

And all over again, you know, Germany, Europe in basic, they are in these bad form, and it can be heading to be negative. Their electrical power costs — no one particular would be able to find the money for electrical energy, they are already striving to lower back, they are trying to get their neighbors to halt working with purely natural gas, which is of course a most important supply for electrical energy. You know, numerous of them, Portugal, Italy, Greece, they are declaring, heck no. I mean, you know, pay attention, we invented air conditioning for a reason. And so, it really is just an avoidable suicide, it truly is.

Involving that and not having little ones, Europe is on a path towards financial suicide that The usa ought to be looking at pretty closely, since I really don’t know that there is any return from that. And some of these items that we consider for granted, that you say, “Nah, we really don’t definitely require air conditioning,” probably you could possibly assume we don’t even require, you know, gasoline, or petroleum oil. But we do.

And if you want to get to this eco-friendly utopia, there could be a clever way to get there more than the next 20 to 30 yrs. But why inflict this avoidable suffering — on their little ones, by the way, they’re talking about their children. If they can get the world that they’re chatting about, their little ones will experience, they will be much less prosperous, and their each day life will be more onerous. They don’t definitely, I really do not imagine, understand what they are inquiring for.

RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY (CO-HOST): Yeah, I concur. It is a cultural and societal suicide that we are witnessing proper now.

…

PAYNE: It is appealing to me that [Secretary of Transportation] Pete Buttigieg and many others proper now consider that, you know, they have to — if you have to subsidize one thing that expenditures a whole lot more money, then you previously have answered your problem. It is much too expensive, it is also early, and it is not heading to perform. As far as this guilt vacation, you know, when you drill for oil, you usually put a hole in the ground, you go down and you crack a couple of rocks. With the fracking, you go a tiny further, probably, for oil.

To make this utopian inexperienced energy offer a reality, for lithium you’ve got to poison waters all all over the planet. For cobalt, you have got to get 7-yr-aged African young ones and force them to mine in filthy drinking water and perilous, harmful drinking water. For other solutions, you know, like the copper and other issues, you’ve acquired to strip-mine the world. You want to communicate about ecological damage? We are going to have to strip-mine and poison the planet, strip-mine the overall world, poison all the waters, primarily in third-globe nations, and make children in Africa de facto slaves to make Pete Buttigieg’s desire come true. Thank you very substantially, I won’t be able to wait around for this new, excellent new utopia.

CAMPOS-DUFFY: The excellent reset.
