Your Solar Panels Are Made in Muslim Concentration Camps | Michael Shellenberger EP 169

The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast

In this episode I was joined by bestselling author and social commentator Michael Shellenberger. We spoke about the social issues in California, the real reasons for the energy crisis in Europe, and the problems with so-called sustainable energy. We also got into the homeless issue, the drug problem and lifestyle solutions. Michael is the author of multiple books including, “Apocalypse Never” and bestseller, “San Fran-sicko”. He ran for Governor of California in 2022 and is also the co-founder of the Breakthrough Institute and the California Peace Coalition. Thanks for tuning in.
