As gasoline prices rise to record levels, the International Energy Agency is calling for energy lockdowns, such as banning the use of private cars in cities on Sundays.
Other measures proposed in the agency’s “A 10-Point Plan to Cut Oil Use” include reducing speed limits, working from home, cutting business air travel and imposing an SUV “tax,” reports Climate Depot, the website run by former Capitol Hill staffer Marc Morano.
“Governments have all the necessary tools at their disposal to put oil demand into decline in the coming years, which would support efforts to both strengthen energy security and achieve vital climate goals,” the report states.
Among the proposals: “Reducing highway speed limits by about 6 miles per hour; more working from home; street changes to encourage walking and cycling; car-free Sundays in cities and restrictions on other days; cutting transit fares; policies that encourage more carpooling; cutting business air travel.”
Another idea is “restricting private cars’ use of roads in large cities to those with even number-plates some weekdays and to those with odd-numbered plates on other weekdays.”
Morano, who managed GOP communications for the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Work, called the plan “COVID 2.0.”
He said the report “sounds an awful lot like an energy version of COVID lockdowns.”
“Instead of opening America back up for domestic energy production, we are told to suffer and do with less and are prescribed the same failed lockdown-style policies we endured for COVID,” Morano said.
“It is odd how COVID ‘solutions’ also allegedly helped the climate and now the same solutions are being touted to deal with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”
Morano observed that the “proposed ‘solutions’ to climate change, COVID, and now the Russian war are all exactly the same – hammer the poor and middle class with more restrictions on travel, less freedom, and even more surrendering of power to unelected government regulators.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!

For all of dads and moms that love to stay home to take care of their loved ones, or rest of people on the search for an opportunity to pull in some extra income fvf for their family cdc month after month let me share a remarkable opportunity to explore.

Arrest any of these people pushing this in the United States as enemies of the US Constitution. They need to be taken down. This is a war against Americans and their US Constitution.
I didn’t participate in the 1st lock down. I’d like for some coward to try and make me participate in the 2nd.
I predicted this two years ago, I said if the government can determine essential workers just wait until the define essential drivers.
So sorry sir,, you can take the bus,, only essential driver can have a car.
Not just no, but HELL NO-STFU!
Notice the subtle suggestion, soon to be a requirement, NOT to drive on Sunday, so they are back to attacking those who attend church, the one place where we need to congregate to uplift each other and renew our spirits and honor God. They HATE God, and they want to punish us for LOVING Him and attack the First Amendment.
They tasted gretaer power, so now it is a race to the bottom. Here we go.
Totalitarian Dictatorship here we come.
K illing the economy should k ill off enough of us to clean up all of our other problems. It sounds like a sure way to fix all of our problems in the US and the world too.
f. YOU. SEE. K. YOU AND THE SLOBS YOU RUN WITH.
Here it is. The long awaited “Climate Lockdowns” have slithered out of their murky thinktanks.
I believe they will penalize countries based upon their degree of civilization. America will pay the highest penalties, while some countries will have a negative penalty, like Zimbabwe.
I hope the American People wake up soon. We will have to resist this with all our might.
