If she were a man, she wouldn’t have her job. Like almost everyone else in the current administration who only have their jobs because of diversity. Similarly, she has no idea how to do her job.

As government creates a big surge to reduce carbon emissions one question that gets forgotten is: Who is going to pay for it.
The EU has already passed regulation that give you insight into that. Hint: It ain’t the rich.
Can’t withhold yachts and jets from the ultra rich.

That was a condensed excerpt from an even longer post by Mills. Inquiring minds may wish to give his article a closer look.
I do not expect this to change anyone’s opinion of the question Mills asked “Is Going Green Really Worth It?“
Indeed, Mills did not directly answer the question himself.
However, Mills raises some very important questions about a headlong rush into allegedly green energy without having a plan as to what it really takes.
Green advocates and economic illiterates praise AOC, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, etc., but when did any of them address the questions Mills’ raised?
When did they discuss real costs of their proposals?
The answer is never. And Germany is living proof right now of what happens.
50 Years of Dire Climate Forecasts and What Actually Happened
The reason is cost. People are waking up to the fact there are massive costs now to protect against alleged disaster decades from now.
To make the threat appear immediate, every storm, fire, hurricane, snowflake (and lack of snowflakes) is blamed on not doing enough.
Goals But No Plan
The unfortunate bottom line is we have forever changing goals but no real plans.
So even if you think we need to do something, how do we do it that does not use up all the metals and pollute the world getting them while driving up inflation in the process?
And how do we force China to stop using coal without a huge inflationary response?
Biden, AOC, and Warren seem hell bent on forcing the US to follow the path of Germany.
Thanks for Tuning In!”
Agreed, those are very valid points regarding that there are many unanswered questions regarding in a transition to green energy. IMHO, the energy crisis the world is experiencing will soon come to North America. Is going green really worth it? I believe you really dont have a choice. The world is at peak oil and production will decline going forward. The United States will be at the forefront of that decline due to the nature of shale oil extraction. The US extraction of roughly 12 mbpd will drop significantly in the following years. We have had 40 years of relatively stable oil production and prices. That is about to change. The period we are entering will be similar to the 70s but multitudes magnified.
On page 9 of the following link from Cenovus (a Cdn oil company) there is a chart showing where I believe we are headed with oil supply not meeting oil demand.
2021 had the lowest oil & gas reserve discovery since 1946. Let that sink in for a bit. And the years before that were also on the low end. And you can bet the kitchen sink the years 2022 and beyond will also be on the low end. Its a no brainer where we are headed.
“Oil and gas firms are having their worst year for new fossil fuel discoveries in decades and reserves are dwindling. The oil and gas industry is on track to discover just 4.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) by the end of 2021, its worst performance in 75 years, according to the research firm Rystad Energy.”
And like I said consumers in Europe havent even started paying for the energy crisis yet. Realist is going to have an increasing harder time getting recruits for the next Extinction Rebellion protest.
“Millions of UK households will face crippling further rises in their electricity and gas bills next winter, with the latest projections suggesting the energy price cap will nearly double to £2,400 a year from of October.”
“Economists have warned of a looming cost of living crisis from April, when rising energy bills are expected to coincide with increases in National Insurance and income tax and the inflation reaching its highest level in a decade.
Ministers discussed relief measures including a reduction in the value added tax rate of 5% on energy bills, government guaranteed loans to suppliers so they can reduce customer bills as well than increased assistance for vulnerable households. A reduction in so-called “green” levies on electricity bills, which subsidize renewable energy projects, is also under consideration.”
62 billion dollars? Isn’t that like the amount of INCREASE the military and war machine gets – YEAR after YEAR after YEAR?!

High winds last night damaged some of my boat storage units out at the lake. Obviously related to climate change. Wonder if I can get a zero interest loan for upgrades and repairs.

It doesn’t take $62B to plant trees or encourage many employers to use more work from home arrangements.
Better to enlist in the Clean Energy Corp and try to make the world a “cleaner” place. As opposed to enlisting in the military, heading overseas, and dropping munitions on women and children in poor countries. Better to build than to destroy.
I agree, the women want those jobs going up the corporate ladder, and these guys just want to go hunting and fishing. It’s perfect if we would just admit it, then do it.

Will Clean Energy Corps members get to wear a snazzy uniform adorned with CEC project patches?
I suppose the only positive thing we’ll get out of this is that only 62 billion is going to be stolen or wasted.
We’d all be WAY better off if they just held a lottery across the country and the winners all got say 30K worth of solar panels for their roof. That would be just over 2 million solar roofs installed.
This company seems to have a promising solution for people who are replacing their roof anyway as they are offering solar shingles.
Since the biggest wastrels per capita are the populations of just three countries: USA, Canada and Australia, it would be rational to have a plan for population stabilization. But no, you can’t touch the secret cows, instead initiate feel-good schemes and more restrictions. These idiots don’t even communicate on the same wavelength with intelligent life.
