The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 356 of the In The Tank Podcast. Why is it that all the climate change solutions coming from any one of consequence on the left are terrible? From over-reliance on wind and solar to destroying our agricultural sectors, they never seem to run out of terrible ideas. Also, a new report from the World Economic Forum seems to bolster the globalist claim that “in the future, you will own nothing.” The ITT crew talks about these topics and more.
