Remember that every tax dollar collected, and more, doesn’t disappear into infinity. They go into someone’s bank account. In the metastasizing green economy those dollars are being deposited in the accounts of research university faculty and administrators; digital and electronic “journalists”; government apparatchiks; renewable resource lobbyists, engineers and constructors; and environmental law firms. So, it’s all good. It’s an indicator of the many high-paying jobs the current administration has been promising.
There’s money in the renewable process itself but the real cash will come when the financial wizards develop and implement the bonanza they’re planning for carbon offsets. Trading imaginary, unproductive pieces of paper authenticated by the government is an invention that rivals any previous scam. The fact that a sophisticated place like Wall Street, a New York City neighborhood, is currently losing a war to rattus norvegicus makes one wonder if the money masters really have the talent to pull it off. Oh, there was Enron and Global Crossing so maybe this will work out.
This whole “climate change” “green” economy sounds like the 1920s stock investment frenzy that led to the stock market crash of 1929 and the following Great Depression.
Except this on is being pushed by the UN/IPCC and the developed countries governments.
Yep.
My problem is I’m retired. Part of my retirement funds come from investments I have limited control over. Deferred Compensation. I used to be able to see the prospectus for almost all that I was investing in each paycheck.
Now I look and many are managed by groups such as Blackrock that offer no prospectus to be viewed to see just what they are investing in.
So far so good. But, if the bottom falls out, God hasn’t failed me yet.
(Even if it comes down to being fed by ravens by a creek!)
I was lucky to get into rentals and still have several houses so when I set my investment mix, no REITs or that kind of thing.
A crash is still a crash with mutual funds though.
Times are scarry with the US Presidential election coming up.
Biden still has about a year to get us, and every other country, into a world war. His weakness has 2 wars going now. AND his obstruction of oil and Nat Gas drilling and pipelines and the depletion of the Political Petroleum Reserve makes FF us week.
“There’s money in the renewable process itself but the real cash will come when the financial wizards develop and implement the bonanza they’re planning for carbon offsets.”
Don’t leave out the “Carbon” sequestering angle.
They cut cut down the trees (natural sequestering of CO2) to burn in Drax the could sequester the CO2 Drax emitted naturally (along with food crops) if they continued to burn coal for power. How “sustainable” is that? (Maybe when they say “sustainable” they really mean another way sustain the cash income to artificially “sequester” what the trees they are burning did naturally?”)
PS The political angle. I’m a carbon-based lifeform. I prefer to remain free.
Why don’t you shift your focus to controlling silicon-based lifeforms? There might be some out there. There was one in Star Trek. (I think they were called “The Horta”?) Go bother them and leave the rest of them alone.
The deficit money fabricated out of thin air, not raised through taxation, is fueling inflation. Inflation is a stealth “tax” on every dollar/euro/etc earned and saved. It is impoverishing everyone that isn’t part of the “Elite” connected classes.
It runs continuously through the leaky valve, all day long, costing you 1/8 gpm (times 1440 minutes/day) and 40% more than you should have been spending.
If/when you do need to use it, you have to wait an additional 10 minutes for the tank to fill after the first flush. So it is recommended you get a second one for a back-up.
Good question.
I think the ideal “Green” toilet isn’t an “on demand” or “intermittent” flush.
It’s a “continuous” system that continues to drain the system until the bottom dwellers are full.
(Best to cut off the “Green” at the source.
(One of the instances where, “You get what you pay for.” doesn’t apply. You get what “They” pay for. Most don’t live where you do.)
There is only $US40 trillion in cash, checking, and savings in the world.
There are about 2 billion households in the world, so that is $US100,000 per household.
Ninety percent of the world’s households can’t afford anything additional so the households in developed nations will have to pay 10 times as much to cover it.
That means about $US 1 million per household in developed countries or about $US 40,000 per year for 25 years.
The working people can’t afford anything near that, most would prefer to have a million in the bank and a degree or two of warming.
The millionaires and billionaires have about $US208 billion. That would cover it, but they won’t give up their wealth.
would cost $US200 Trillion to stop Global Warming by 2050.
Would buy a lot of coal. Current price USD126/t. So say 1600 billion tonnes or 200 years at current rate. Say 70 years for all energy needs.
Once all that money has been spent over the next 20 years or so, the program has to start all over again because most of the gear lasts less than 20 years. So in the next 20 years you could have purchased another 70 years worth of coal.
I did the sums when I put solar panels on the roof and battery in the garage. I could have bought 100 tonnes of thermal coal at the time. That would have covered all my energy needs for.the rest of my life.But it would have been messy to store the coal and messier to burn it to make electricity.
All the “renewable” stuff uses more energy to make it than it can ever produce in its operating life so it is just a complicated way of the simple economy based on paying someone to break windows and then paying someone else to fix them. It is useless economic activity that results in economic decline.
Bloomberg’s green energy research team is not comprehending their own efforts… their Premise is dead wrong… they can’t do a thing about global warming, or global cooling, or even feeding themselves.

Renewable energy policies are not only unproductive but downright anti-productive, destroying efficient energy processes and replacing them with inefficient supposed substitutes
Don’t we all have to deal with this situation every day, in so many ways.

The Green Economy is essentially a pipe dream that exists only in the minds of those with investments in it and academics and/or alarmists whose careers depend much on perpetuating the myth. If one climate conference after the next results in failure and if renewable energy sources like wind and solar show that they are consistently unreliable how much of a Green Economy is there? And when we hear that fossil fuel consumption has increased almost 60% during the past three decades, we have further proof that it’s just a mirage.
Only the really big a-holes would think it’s money well spent!
I guess we could say that they are REALLY full of shite!
The problem is that with each flush, they just reload.
(A, figurative, perpetual motion machine?)
And the only thing produced is more and more “flushable” excrement !
It’s not “spent”, it’s reallocated to themselves and their mates.
To sit on that, they’d have to be big ……
There used to be a sailor’s meme floating around of a two story outhouse, the upper story for officers only and the lower story for all others.
Same idea

A wealth transfer from citizens to the connected. It’s ****ing criminal.
Yes the greens think costs are benefits because somebody gets the money.
That is the green circular economy. In the end nothing useful is done or created, we end up with a large debt and those connected get rich.
The entirety of the Liberal Green plan here in canada.

The Federal Reserve and Roosevelt caused the great depression. Without their actions is would have just been a regular recession.
Only big banks and big government can cause that much suffering.

Well put by Josh 😂👍 -as usual 🤣
Yep, Josh has a way of capturing the truth, doesn’t he.
Wait, shouldn’t they be turning it into fertilizer, you know, to be really green?
Probably not, they’re banning fertilizer in Sri Lanka, Netherlands & Canada.
But it’s “Green BS”!
Very “organic” as in what belongs in … (see Josh’s cartoon.)
Does it, will it flush on demand or intermittently?
It runs continuously through the leaky valve, all day long, costing you 1/8 gpm (times 1440 minutes/day) and 40% more than you should have been spending.

Everyone knows the green economy is flush with money.
Why do something of economic benefit when governments of all sizes reward economic terrorism.
Climate Scientists are the useful idiots in what has become the greatest organised crime syndicate in human history.

well, you got a Red reply button. That’s new.
I don’t know what happened there, my apologies.
