It's not... their propaganda is lost on me and I have no plans to roll over anytime soon.
I often think that it is the NP lobby that somehow finds that NP is our only saviour. They have backed off a little because of the "minor" problems in Japan but make no mistake their wagon rolls on.
Heck we are talking big money..do you think we are fed the truth?
They are grinding their axe to show NP is just the only answer..well I dont buy it at all.
Global warming was first presented by the NP lobby ( check the movies of 20 years ago..coal got us started but it so bad for you and so NP is the only answer crap) in an effort to bring the greenies on side which to their credit they have done. How ironic that greenies have been conned to go for NP.
Still NP is far from a solution in my view and they are just another group seeking to profit from the sky is falling mantra.
France sells desalinators on the sky is falling story and I suspect they may sell NP as well.
It should be about greed and greedy consumption not how do we facilitate the greedy consumption to continue by going NP.
As I said if there is a problem it may be more about gluttony than anything else.
The deal put forward is..let the rich have their toys exemplified by tractor pulling and other greedy consumption pursuits but lets keep that in place and find reasons to punish the poor with taxes that only increase revenue rather than bite the bullet and address the real problem...what ever that is.. .but un necessary cinsumptiin could serve as a place holder until we find the real problem.
Well I think its greedyness.
Less tractor pulling and less v8 super cars may be a good start.
Heck get rid of all the toys and maybe we could survive.
Why chase alternate power etc if we do not address the excesses of a privileged few.
Will you miss the absence of tractor pulling or the racing of million dollar cars or the absence of burn outs at the summer nats...perhaps not...after those activities are no more I will listen to the calls for climate action..but not before.
