Rude awakenings? In-your-face reality finally speaking?
How do I express this politely?
What are the implications of taking the world into an entirely different technological direction? Riches! How to do it.. Almost unknown without GOVERNMENTS or liberal science unshackled from commerce directing. Get those business advisors out of government?
The honey trap of fossil fuels and fallacious economic thinking and false 'FREE' markets for almost one hundred years with an almost disastrous outcome for all life has finally been understood by the the experts as a cruel unfair bellicose series of false economic paths. I am no friend of market forces. They are not good economics and have driven otherwise peaceful societies to distraction producing more wars, diseases and conflicts than can be counted.
You are receiving and reading this because you regularly think out of the box.
Having the windmills and what they represent on our landscape is actually a small burden to bear compared to the mess, that we helped to create by adopting the lead of the seven sisters and numerous economic theories of capitalistic development based on price mechanisms that served the minority and that should have been shed a century ago. Windmills will disappear, but the destructive effects of fossil fuel and fossil chemical use won't. Wake up! Our seas are polluted with micro plastics.
Finally, the alternative looks promising, but it is still not without ignorant detractors. We have the cancerous mafia world that is Russia and the false right wing pollutionist economics, such as that of Alberta, that still represent obscene old thinking and the shackles of thought that continue to bind the earth to cruel doctrines. Only recently has Canada abandoned asbestos?
Wither fossil fuels? What next? Only an idiot now asks!
In other words, many MIT economists, engineers, and technologists were right ten years ago to propose 'against the wind' the necessity of a purest technology directional strategy based on pure or current force solar energy sources happening right now real time. The market pricing mechanisms failed us big big big time. Government and university brains had to fight against the forces of a strong false market that left without regulation would destroy earth and life itself.
Deregulation of policy to market forces has been the worse policy option in our lifetimes. The liberal mind of invention has now had to quell the private sectors misinformation of false commercial doctrines that were leading the world economy into debt and deprivation.
Time to admit global warming was never the issue, but that the modern price mechanisms driving investment banking and commercial decisions held no lessons for the better development thinking of clued in investors and governments. Without those outside the conventional economy, our world would be a dead thing and we would all be the poorer for it. Market forces don't provide adequate directions of investment only sad mechanisms for wealth redistribution based on stolen assets.
Confused?
Think outside the market boxes!
The new carbon economy may be built on products from graphene (from carbon) and solar energy which will power the core of new world economy in so many peaceful pollution free ways that the old coal gas petrol chemical economy could not. Use the carbon in carbon dioxide to produce a sound carbon based economy that does not burn future opportunities and pollute our precious earth.
