Global Warming Myths and the Oil Money Machine

The hosts question the validity of "global warming" and "peak oil," suggesting these concepts are myths used to maintain high energy prices and control the population. They reflect on the 1970s oil crisis and the failed promises of subsidized alternative energy like wind and solar.
