It's clear that many ordinary people aren't willing to pay higher costs just to fulfill the grand visions of central planners.
Other proponents for massive tax increases are doubling down and calling for even more central planning with the hope of drastically remaking modern economies in a manner that they believe will be friendlier to the environment.
An old hobbyhorse of the left, the so-called Green New Deal, is also getting renewed attention.
Like the original New Deal under President Roosevelt, it promises massive new government spending and across-the-board government interventions.
His central planners lacked the knowledge necessary to control the market, as any one person or group of individuals necessarily does.
A Green New Deal would almost certainly fail for the same reasons that FDR's New Deal failed and precipitate economic disaster.
Using every means necessary to obstruct development of energy sources deemed insufficiently green looks increasingly like an electoral loser.
