have we listened to the Green, too much??

[Little Fishy]

I'm not saying that most things that enviromentalists push aren't good for the enviroment and the world, but have we as a nation paid too much attention to the green without first looking at the implications...


here are some reason's why I'm not fond of the Green:

they pushed putting chemicals to make gas burn cleaner that are carsinagens in our drinking water

they protested nuclear power and supported hydroelectric (which floods areas and kills entire fish populations) and wind power (which kills bird populations by destroying their migration routs).

By forcing US factories to burn cleaner they drive up 'in house' products making outsourcing even more profitable

and of course...they don't shave you know where /images/graemlins/shocked.gif


just some thoughts...

It sounds like you're green yourself, but think the movement is represented badly. I can live with that.

Just remember that global warming is a political debate, not a scientific one.

I've done a lot of reading in this very area, and recently wrote a series of speeches regarding the sort-of 'hoax' of environmentalism. Basically the world is 100% A-OK, technology makes the world a million times better for everyone and utility is far outpacing any small relative detrimental effects that pollution etc. are causing. The world is getting much, much better in any metric you can name- availability of food, clean air, water, natural resources, quality of life, etc. etc. etc.

Authors to read- Julian Simon, Bjorn Lomborg.

You're right. You simply shouldn't trust people that don't shave their asses.
