00:00:00.000 The only reason prices are going through the roof is because companies are scared about this net zero target and they're reluctant to invest properly in further production of oil and natural gas and you know they don't want to build any of these facilities because they don't want to be left with them all left high and dry so our high gas prices are being caused by our governments around the world.
00:00:25.680 The fact that yeah not only is Trudeau taking something like 37 percent 37 what is it 37 percent I think it is on just tax so I mean he loves it when the price goes through the roof but they're also scaring the petrochemical industry so they're not investing properly and that's the major reason has nothing to do with Russia if you actually look at the gas prices they were going up before the Russian invasion of the Ukraine and they will continue to rise as long as our government does not have response.
00:00:55.680 responsible policies towards development of our fossil fuel industry we really should be developing that I mean it's it's one of the major sources of revenue for all of Canada we're going to just simply bankrupt our country I mean look what's just happened in Sri Lanka I mean Sri Lanka has gone bankrupt quite frankly they can't give gasoline to average people you know their their stores are out of food I mean the whole presidential palace etc was completely invaded.
00:01:22.420 Now I'm not saying that's going to happen tomorrow in Canada but we're headed down a very dangerous path with this energy transition that they keep talking about first of all it's impossible okay you cannot run an industrial society on wind and solar power.
00:01:36.900 but secondly as they try to do it as they spend hundreds of billions of dollars more it's going to make our prices go literally through the roof it's going to lead to massive job loss and eventually it's going to lead to massive blackouts and this is something to be very scared about as we approach winter here in Canada.
00:01:55.360 Texas in February of 2021 had 58 percent of its electricity coming from wind power a few days before the big storm hit when it got really cold then two things happen.
00:02:09.140 First of all the wind died and it went from 58 percent to essentially zero okay suddenly they imagine a state the size of Texas lost 58 percent of their electricity in a matter of a day or so the other thing of course that happened was it got very very cold and so they suddenly had a much greater demand for natural gas and this will completely blow your mind it sounds like something out of Dr. Seuss.
00:02:32.960 I mean you wouldn't think this would actually happen in the real world but to appease the environmentalists the Texas government decided to run the pumps and valves on many of the natural gas lines with wind power so even though a lot of these gas lines had gas in them many of them couldn't actually move their gas around because of the wind had died.
00:02:54.600 So media mainstream media are trying to hide this they're saying that the 700 people 700 people died because of the Texas frees okay they're saying this was caused because of the failure of natural gas well of course it failed not only did it get very cold but it had to compensate for 58 percent of the electricity that was suddenly lost because wind power went offline and as I say some of the gas lines couldn't even pump their gas because they were run on wind power.
00:03:22.820 So no it was natural gas was the savior at least prevented them from having an even worse catastrophe but the real cause of the problem was trying to green you know make the state supposedly a supporter of green power and moving more and more to wind.
00:03:39.840 So you know Dr. Jay Lair who's my co-author at America Out Loud he thinks that what happened in Texas has to happen over and over and over and over all across the western world before people wake up.
00:03:51.180 It's sad yeah and realize yeah yeah we are in some in for some difficult times and you know that's why one of the things that we're going to do is we're going to start lobbying as much as we can behind the scenes with conservatives and others in the government to say look you guys have got to wake up because you're going to be responsible for a literal catastrophe in Canada.
00:04:12.040 Not just a reduction in our standard of living but you're going to be responsible for many deaths.
00:04:17.300 So yeah that's one of our plans going forward is we're going to start meeting with them privately.
00:04:22.160 So if people want to learn more about us ICSC-Canada.com
