Billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday (Dec 16) said that oil and gas should not be demonized and that it was extremely critical to reduce carbon emissions to preserve the planet.
While speaking at a right-wing political gathering organized by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party, Musk said, “I don’t think we should demonize oil and gas, I think we should say, ‘Look, that is obviously necessary in the short term and the medium term too’, and although it takes several decades to become sustainable, so I think if we just, without getting too worried about it, seek to have a sustainable energy future, gradually, then that’s what will happen.” [emphasis, links added]
“Climate change alarm is exaggerated in the short term,” he further added.
Musk said that it was important that industries began reducing billions of the carbon they take from Earth and releasing it into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.
“We should not demonize oil and gas in the medium term,” he said.
On being asked if his firms would invest in Italy, Musk said that he was worried about the country’s declining birth rate.
“Italy is a great place to invest. It’s a great, you know, a great country. But I do want to emphasize that I do worry about the low birth rate. And you know, if a company is to invest in Italy, they’re like, well you have to say like, will there be enough people to work there?” he remarked.
