Trump: "The wind blows, and then it doesn't blow, and the things cost a fortune, they're made in China, they kill the birds, and they're horrible... It's a disaster."
"Nobody wants them, and they're the most expensive energy of any kind of energy."
"You know what else people don't like? Those massive solar fields... I mean, they're ridiculous, the whole thing."
"You know where the panels come from, 100% of the panels? They're made in China."
EU Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas, speaking at Davos: By 2026, the EU plans to roll out biometric digital ID systems at the border points of member states.
"Throughout the European Union, we will have digitalisation in our ports, in our entrances, everywhere, in airports, which will make things faster and easier for the traveller."
WEF founder Klaus Schwab, speaking at Davos: "We also have to face an erosion of trust in our society."
"We all must work together to regain trust in order to progress nationally and internationally. This can only be achieved if we genuinely address the existential fears of so many."
"The fears of those who are afraid of accelerating environmental degradation, and the fears of those who worry about being left out in the transition to the intelligent age."
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen: "All continents will have to speed up the transition towards Net Zero, and deal with the growing burden of climate change."
"Its impact is impossible to ignore: Heatwaves across Asia. Floods from Brazil to Indonesia, from Africa to Europe. Wildfires in Canada, Greece, and California. Hurricanes in the US and the Caribbean."
"Climate change is still on top of the global agenda."
What Socrates said about democracy more than 2000 years ago.
He said that demoracy must fall because it will try to tailor to everyone.
The poor will want the wealth of the rich, and democracy will give it to them.
Young people will want to be respected as elderly and democracy will give it to them.
Women will want to be like men and democracy will give it to them
Foreigners will want the rights of the natives and democracy will give it to them.
Thieves and fraudsters will want important government functions, and democracy will give it to them.
And at that time, when thieves and fraudsters finally democratically take authority because criminals and evil doers want power, there will be worse dictatorship than in the time of any monarchy or oligarchy.
