Spoken like a true card carrying "New Worlder", we already had a great world, now we are on the decline, mostly due to the those who believe in Collectivism and those who believe that they are smarter than the average citizen and that they alone have an obligation to rule the masses.
Climate Change is not a cure, it's a vehicle by which the elitist who believe they will lead the more orderly New World into a brave new future, Green Energy may very well be the future in years to come but it's certainly not in the near future, Solar and Wind is not sustainable without the use of Petro fuels to manufacture hardware, coal and nuclear energy still produce the energy to charge the batteries that that power electric vehicles, Petro fueled heavy machines are used to mine the raw materials to produce batteries, and when all those green energy batteries die, they can't be recycled, they become planetary waste that pollute the environment that they sit on or in.
Lets consider Ethanol, it is one of the first new Green energy idea to come out of the Climate Change 'henny pennies', it was such a good idea that they got a law passed mandating the manufacture of millions of gallons pe year in the US and that it be mixed with auto fuel, it turns out that it takes about a bushel of corn (that's what ethanol is made from), they said it was a "cheap" way to extend Petro and "clean the air", but in reality, not only do engines not
like ethanol, the use of corn for fuel has caused food shortages across the globe, has driven the price of food corn up which in turn affects the cost of just about everything that people use everyday, from fuel to groceries, to home goods, to clothing, and recreational goods.
Was it a good idea after all, especially when Ethanol actually costs more to produce than auto fuel, do you know that a wind turbine used to make electricity costs millions of dollars, does not produce enough electricity through out it's life time to pay for itself, and when they breakdown they are not worth fixing, they are scrapped and replaced with another new unit that can't pay for itself, not exactly sustainable in my book.
Solar, from what I understand is far more efficient than wind, but it's also expensive to build and install, that's why it's almost totally subsidized by the government, but it's not produced here, we pay for it through taxes and the national debt, giving billions of dollars to Communist China, again, thanks to the democrats.
I agree that the cost of fuel at the pumps and the increases in food at the grocer, or building supplies at the lumber yard is because the democrat run machine has decimated the US production of coal, gas, and oil in an ongoing agenda of ending it, and in doing so ending our energy independence, making us dependent on our enemies who can raise their prices and create shortages at will.
Collectivist tell us we have to suffer high energy cost, food shortages, and higher overall costs of most necessities of life, we also need to accept the loss of some of our rights and liberties, suffer higher taxes and inflation, and yes, even property ownership in America as we have known it, we need to accept these sacrifices for the good of all and of our planet, we need to just be happy to exist, for me just existing is not living, and it certainly isn't freedom.
As for Climate Change, I believe it's happening, that it's just Mother Nature doing what she's done since the beginning of time, and those who have the belief that mankind and farting Cows is the cause of Climate Change or that man can alter nature by changing their lifestyle or throwing wads of cash at it, don't flatter yourself, you ain't that important.
