precisely. Extinction Rebellion are a bunch of upper class white Brits, who pretend they don’t know they are protected by the powers behind the “climate” scam.

their alternative to oil (some of the neighbours express their outrage in this particular case):

11 Oct: Daily Mail: Read the bizarre flyer calling for Aussies to ‘ration’ their power use to so electric vehicle owners can charge their cars
A flyer created by electric car owners has called on locals to ration their power
It was sent to residents living on a street in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton
The four EV owners made the request so they could charge their electric cars
By JESSE HYLAND FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
Rhys Andrews said the car owner’s power company told them they could not charge several vehicles on the same street.

Electric vehicles can be charged using a power point, but the process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 20 hours, depending on the specific charger...

Many social media users who responded to the post slammed the electric vehicle owners for their odd request.
‘I can’t imagine turning off the amenities I’ve worked so hard to acquire so the neighbours can charge their cars,’ said one.
‘You want the EV mess; you figure out what to do with it and leave others out of your self-inflicted dilemma.’...etc

another example of how the “climate” mob intend to spend TRILLIONS (presumably/hopefully worldwide) just for transmission lines, which might be useless as new energy or a return to old energy become necessary:

10 Oct: Australian Financial Review: Electricity prices to soar as energy transition falters
by Angela Macdonald-Smith and Jenny Wiggins
Retail electricity prices could soar by at least 35 per cent in 2023 due to the unprecedented cost of wholesale energy, as the system grapples with the transition to clean energy amid a global supply crisis, power company bosses have told The Australian Financial Review’s Energy & Climate Summit...

The estimated jump in reference power tariffs next year – based on recent increases in wholesale prices – comes on top of an increase of up to 18 per cent in household tariffs on July 1.

It makes it harder to achieve the drop in power prices promised by Labor by 2025 in the run-up to the election in May, although Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen did not back away from that assurance.
“We remain of the view that renewables are the cheapest form of energy by a country mile as AEMO [Australian Energy Market Operator] says, and getting more renewables in the system will mean lower power prices,” Mr Bowen told the summit...

(Worley CEO) Mr Ashton said project approvals process needed to be streamlined, and construction of new supply standardised.
“Every time we start to look at an investment ... it tends to be a bespoke design. We’re going to have to move to much more standardised ways of doing things where we get high levels of replication. We’ll have to modularise and almost go into a production-line type mechanism type approach, if we’re going to deploy the capital because what Australia is facing isn’t unique.

“If you look at the quantum of investment required ... [estimates] look at anywhere between $US100 and $US120 trillion of investment necessary to effect transition by 2050. That is orders of magnitude more than the supply chain is capable of doing today.”...
