Our Dystopian “Green” Future – In The Tank, #375

Show Notes

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 375 of the In The Tank Podcast. Recently, there has been a wave of stories coming out that paint a pretty bleak picture of our "green" future. From high energy prices and energy shortages to dictates about how you should live your life and whether you should have kids, climate alarmists seem to have no shortage of bad ideas. The ITT crew talks about these stories and more.
