The Fever needs to keep rising to fight off the infection that is modern energy policy.
Poor countries will have riots, rich countries will have changes in voter behavior.
The suffering was avoidable, but is now inevitable.
In the end I suspect our Public Education System and Teachers Union are the useful idiots that created a generation of energy ignorance that became dogma that became policy over the past few decades. Rich schemers like Al Gore certainly used it to their personal enrichment, and the current Democratic Party is deeply infected by it.
