But since its past recommendations helped cause a global energy crisis, the WEF should take the occasion of Davos to apologize and examine what caused it to be so wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Europe and the rest of the world are currently experiencing a global energy crisis, caused by one fundamental factor: underinvestment in fossil fuels on the false assumption that unreliable solar and wind could rapidly replace them.<\/p>\n<p>For more than a decade, Davos has been pushing government restrictions and ESG restrictions on fossil fuel investment, production, and transport. The World Economic Forum has used its power and prestige to push the claim that solar and wind are cheaper than fossil fuels and therefore can rapidly replace them. The much-publicized <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.weforum.org\/docs\/WEF_Renewable_Infrastructure_Investment_Handbook.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WEF Handbook on Renewable Energy Investment<\/a> claimed in 2016: \u201cIn an increasingly larger number of countries, it has become more economical to install solar and wind capacity than coal capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The claim that solar and wind are cheaper than fossil fuels is a dangerous falsehood that ignores the enormous costs of giving 24\/7 life support to these unreliable forms of electricity, as well as the vast superiority of fossil fuels for many non-electricity uses such as heavy-duty transportation and industrial process heat.<\/p>\n<p>The World Economic Forum has been a leader in discouraging investors from investing in the fossil fuel projects that it\u2019s clear the world desperately needs. In 2020 WEF founder <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/collection\/davos-2020\/5764096\/youth-anger-klaus-schwab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Klaus Schwab said<\/a> so explicitly:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u2026we should ensure that all policymaking and business decisions, go through and pass an intergenerational-impact test. \u2026 it would mean investors divest their fossil-fuel portfolio and build up a green-energy one \u2014 another initiative that\u2019s underway under auspices of the World Economic Forum.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNo more coal power,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wef\/status\/1470362914829778951\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WEF tweeted last year.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In reality, while fossil fuels may have affected the climate, there is no \u201cclimate emergency.\u201d The death rate from climate-related disasters has declined by a factor of 50 over the last 100 years, in large part due to fossil-fueled infrastructure such as heating, air-conditioning, irrigation, evacuation systems, etc.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/31073117\/fMzBTH45k0nn-Qk71NvPSoCqYlKdCxBBRgvK0ZvPeW6eGC3UlfI7q-p3Gq4QuoIoeFq-j8CDCfJQbpv2Lsezj69Mp4tOiVyUPwP6oD9RudgcgFSRFbW1nkE1VDCN6go3Uqss17y9MKMcXib89w\" alt=\"\" width=\"-130\" height=\"-84\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>But the WEF\u2019s anti-fossil fuel prescriptions have caused an energy emergency, including fertilizer shortages and increasing fears of starvation.<\/p>\n<p>The WEF\u2019s anti-fossil fuel prescriptions have been particularly cruel for the world\u2019s poorest people, including the 3 billion individuals who use less electricity than a typical American refrigerator. Those individuals\u2019 best chance to rise out of poverty is fossil fuels \u2014 which is why China and India are doubling down on fossil fuels \u2014 and yet the WEF has pressured the poorest places in the world to forego fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>When an influential organization contributes to a global crisis, the only appropriate course of action is to apologize, then reflect on the root causes of its deadly errors. But instead of apologizing and reflecting, the World Economic Forum is holding a Davos program that continues to demonize fossil fuels and lionize solar and wind\u2014to the point of proposing, as a meaningful form of energy, solar panels that work at night!<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/31073144\/xDAKZJLRVwENoQ5SeCy1sMf4OQdIuCCBGaYmQFc2YSHVWCBF38GFKqJ1piPIbD6KqfFMOhLOXLHyb7c1UW9_nLaNk0yyYd4zVhYVu_LxAt6wgbhQ_NVXQwOr1m2nWec4wtboD0rE7DWLnlyh_A\" width=\"624\" height=\"351\" alt=\"image\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This week at Davos, leaders have shown no contrition and instead doubled down on their anti-fossil-fuel ways.
