What does net zero want from us?

Because I don't want to live in a world where we don't have freedom anymore.

And I think that was enough of a window of opening for me to read Michael Schellenberger's book, Apocalypse Never, in 2020, when it came out.

And then that reading began and I read it secretly.

And that was enough for I, then I stopped posting.

And then I started reading books and educating myself privately.

And I truly thought I was never going to post again.

I was like, I'm just gonna keep my opinions to myself, take it to my grave and just like help build the free press for Barry and all this stuff.

But then I think this past year in 2025, May of 2025, I was kind of looking around and I started to realize that the climate narrative wasn't like neutral, right?

Like to stay silent was actually irresponsible because of...

the damage it's doing to our energy system and the nihilism it's pushing to young people.

And so I think I kind of had to have like a come to Jesus moment where I'm like, okay, there's like two roads.

What do I want my life to represent?

Because in the end of the day, I don't want to be on my deathbed one day and saying I never spoke up because I was afraid.

And then it became something bigger than myself.

Like, okay, I'm going to speak out because I'm doing this for young people.

I'm doing this for affordability.

And I had just had to kind of transmute it to be able to then put myself out there because I'm like, okay, this is bigger than me.

Um, and I mean, look, it's led to conversations like this, and so I'm so happy that I did, because I feel like people don't realize this climate movement stuff is so destructive.

Yeah.
