Mirror, Mirror On The Wall, Who's The Greenest Of Them All?

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the greenest of them all? Think about it; all this nonsense about "saving Mother Earth" is bankrupting America, if not the world. Or it is at least making a huge contribution in that direction. All the Billions spent are not making the climate any more comfortable or safe, nor will they. Any honest geologist or earth scientist could have told you that decades ago. It is time for everyone to wake up and realize we've been defrauded by these climate alarmists. The following article says it well.

Greener Than Thou

www.climatechangedispatch

The most obnoxious and hypocritical people are those who are always preaching a “greener” way of life, insisting that anything that constitutes our modern lifestyles is destroying the Earth and depleting its natural resources. Never mind that we depend upon oil, natural gas, coal, and a host of minerals and chemicals for that lifestyle, the absence of which caused people in earlier eras to live shorter, far more unpleasant lives.

Oil, other than just an energy source is also a component in countless products, starting with plastic, and is so vital to modern life that its value goes far beyond just being able to drive our cars to visit grandma.

Greener than thou has replaced holier than thou ever since Rachel Carson penned her pernicious and seriously flawed attack on DDT and other chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides in 1962. The result has been the needless deaths of millions from malaria in Africa and subtropical nations after the U.S. banned DDT and other nations followed suit. If there was a comparable pesticide available today, the U.S. would not be suffering a biblical plague of bed bugs.

Paying Extra for Green Power, and Getting Ads Instead

By KATE GALBRAITH

The solicitations have been flooding people’s mailboxes lately: pay a bit more on your electricity bill for 100 percent clean wind power. Or, the fliers say, buy “green power certificates” to offset your global warming emissions.

Close to a million electricity customers have signed up for such payments voluntarily, and the amount of electricity sold in this way has nearly tripled since 2005, amid rising concern about climate change and energy security. But the participants are in a distinct minority, with a sign-up rate of only about 2 percent in programs run by utilities.

The low sign-up rate raises a question: If large majorities of Americans favor increased government support for clean energy, as polls suggest, why are so many people reluctant to back such programs when it comes to paying extra themselves?

One reason might be that they think the added expense is too high. Solar and wind power generally cost more than power generated with fossil fuels. While many people support alternative energy in principle, they personally may not want to spend hundreds of dollars more for electricity, especially in the current economic environment.

From the above article, a typical brainwashed "sucker" says:

"It's about what's good for the Planet," said Mark Renfrow, a Dallas homeowner who this summer began paying his electric company an extra $26 dollars per month for "wind energy". My guess is what he's really getting for his money is a lot of hot air.
