Indeed, I've said it before and I'll say it again: we have way too many less-than-ethical folks chasing the alternative energy bubble money flows. We have too much investment dollars going into things which will not work. Does this mean I am down on alternative energy? NO! I am fine with anything that makes sense, any new way to generate energy which is more reliable, renewable, abundant, and inexpensive.
By all means if there are folks out there with decent
, bring them on, but we've sure seen a ton of BS being funded in that sector, things which have unintended consequences and don't work and can never achieve an ROI. We seem to be building an "alternative energy" bubble with incentives and subsidies and everyone is lining up to stand in that money flow.
Our Think Tank is not an environmental group, we do not side with the eco-terrorists. You know over the years, I've watched how easily these folks have tried to pave that road with good intentions, but much of the problems we face are due to their political actions. It takes entrepreneurs to solve those problems, but the environmentalists are so busy attacking us because they don't understand how free-markets work, why they work, or how they solve problems.
And as I say all this, I can say I revolutionized my industry with better BMPs for environmental controls, better efficiency, using low-cost methods, and innovations. And, I was attacked by environmentalists every step of the way. So, as you say, give them love? Well, I was thinking of revenge actually - it's a great motivator - but, if they would get real, get educated on the reality, and come to their senses that would be fine.
As it stands now this environmental - "global warming" - carbon CO2 footprint stuff is out of control, and they'd destroy our civilization, economy, and society and be perfectly happy to do it during the process, but in the end the environment will be worse, because they don't get it - too bad really. Hey, if something is efficient, cheaper to build, doesn't bring with it unintended consequences, let's do it, like yesterday!
But, if it's more of the same throwing good money after bad, I don't see how a Think Tank could get behind it. Further, this coming "carbon-credit trading scheme" well, I bet Enron would have loved to trade "AIR" after all that's what they are planning to do with CO2 a "trace gas" - even though mankind's contribution to the total CO2 in the atmosphere is only 2.6% and 97% comes from nature. I mean what on Earth are people smoking?
Now everyone has to breathe the air and drink the water, yes, I get that, no problem there, but we need a reality check, and back to your "less taxes!" comment, remember that all this wasteful spending on nonsensical alternative energy innovations with Zero-ROI ever, are raising not only taxes, but the cost of energy for EVERYONE. Higher energy costs mean more closed factories, fewer jobs, etc.
Indeed, I guess if people want to be shown the "love" for mouthing off and following the masses into the economic abyss over pie-in-the-sky nonsense, then they should go buy a dog, and a bible and go live in a log-cabin in the forest? Okay so, that is my reality wake-up call for today, however as you know I rely on you my faithful reader to respond.
Tell me, what cool eco-innovations have you come up with? Since you've been thinking here, maybe we ought to promote environmental innovations which actually work efficiently, save money, save energy, and help the balance between mankind's civilizations and the rest of the species out there? Please consider all this.
