Elon Musk: We Should Not Demonize Oil And Gas
Billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday (Dec 16) said that oil and gas should not be demonized and that it was extremely critical to reduce carbon emissions to preserve the planet.
While speaking at a right-wing political gathering organized by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party, Musk said, “I don’t think we should demonize oil and gas, I think we should say, ‘Look, that is obviously necessary in the short term and the medium term too’, and although it takes several decades to become sustainable, so I think if we just, without getting too worried about it, seek to have a sustainable energy future, gradually, then that’s what will happen.” [emphasis, links added]
“Climate change alarm is exaggerated in the short term,” he further added.
Musk said that it was important that industries began reducing billions of the carbon they take from Earth and releasing it into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.
“We should not demonize oil and gas in the medium term,” he said.
On being asked if his firms would invest in Italy, Musk said that he was worried about the country’s declining birth rate.
“Italy is a great place to invest. It’s a great, you know, a great country. But I do want to emphasize that I do worry about the low birth rate. And you know, if a company is to invest in Italy, they’re like, well you have to say like, will there be enough people to work there?” he remarked.

Musk has a physics degree and believes that carbon dioxide is causing the climate to change. He obviously didn’t learn much.

Musk’s whole business is dependent on oil and gas, and he flaunts the ‘green’ rules whenever it suits him.
Just veiled self preservation. Why does anyone listen to him?

This is the hard part, getting behind someone that sees the world logically, fights for causes we align with, and then throws the Climate Change card down.
His future wealth with Tesla depends on government subsidies and the green agenda continuing. We as a people need a stop of that agenda. As much as there many Trump detractors, we need him in the WH because we can’t afford a uniparty goon for another 8 years.

goon A or goon B makes no difference since they are both puppets controlled by the same master
both are authoritative psychopaths that only follow orders
have fun voting, the die has already been cast

Agree on A vs B, but DJT is more of a C. We can’t have Biden or Sanders or Newsom or Haley.

so are you saying trump is not a authoritative psychopath?
trump does what he is told, just as all politicians do
do you really think trump would get anywhere close to ‘power’ if he was truly a threat the controlling powers?
power does what power wants, always has
