With apologies to Dustin Hoffman in “The Graduate” I can’t wait to hear the fish stories that will be told to the EU trying to scam money from this latest idea:

Anyone want to place bets now on how quickly we’ll see abuse of this?
The new trend in fishing: raiding garbage cans at night. h/t to WUWT reader AnonyMoose
This idiocy reminds me of the Spaniard who cycled across the border into France with a string of onions hanging from his handlebars on a weekly basis for many years.
The border guards, who he had come to knw well over the years, always insepcted the cycle and the onions for contraband and never found a thing. As an old man determined to clear his conscience, he did one last border-crossing, but this time on foot.
“Okay, we know you have been smuggling something” said both sets of guards.
“What were you smuggling?”
The old smuggler looked them in the eye, smiled, and said …
“Bicycles!”
new plastic maker in EU plans 100k tonnes of goods a year…
funny they announced this today also.
Steve from Rockwood – “Deadliest Catch” is on Discovery Channel in the US.
Why put the plastic waste in the sea in the first place? The only sensible thing is to use it as fuel. After all plastic is really nothing but oil in solid form. One ton of ordinary mixed garbage is about equal to 1.5 barrels of oil (and a lot cheaper) when burned in a power station.
To see the attempted elimination of local commercial fishermen thanks to the industrial and oligarchical approach of the iron curtain of the EU….watch at least the first 20 minutes of “We Feed The World”.
One of the most important documentaries out there…and definitely worth your time.
You will be shocked. Or maybe you won’t.
But you will be angered.
As I like to say “Time to light the torches.”
