Green Energy: Greatest Wealth Transfer to the Rich in History
By Steve Goreham -- February 21, 2023

“Since 2000, the world has spent more than $5 trillion on green energy. More than 300,000 wind turbines have been erected, millions of solar arrays were installed, more than 25 million electric vehicles (EVs) have been sold, hundreds of thousands of acres of forest were cut down to produce biomass fuel, and about three percent of agricultural land is now used to produce biofuel for vehicles.”

We are in the midst of history’s greatest wealth transfer. Government subsidized wind systems, solar arrays, and electric vehicles overwhelmingly benefit the wealthy members of society and rich nations. The poor and middle class pay for green energy programs with higher taxes and higher electricity and energy costs. Developing nations suffer environmental damage to deliver mined materials needed for renewables in rich nations.

Since 2000, the world has spent more than $5 trillion on green energy. More than 300,000 wind turbines have been erected, millions of solar arrays were installed, more than 25 million electric vehicles (EVs) have been sold, hundreds of thousands of acres of forest were cut down to produce biomass fuel, and about three percent of agricultural land is now used to produce biofuel for vehicles. The world spends about $1 trillion per year on green energy. Government subsidies run about $200 billion annually, with more than $1 trillion in subsidies spent over the last 20 years.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

The Green Economy is nothing but Depopulation and Decivilization.

There will never be a Green Economy, just Kings and Serfs.
The Republic is lost.

Vulcan fulminates:
"There will never be a Green Economy, just Kings and Serfs."

When you stop to think about it, how much of human history HAS NOT been "Kings and Serfs"?

Could it be that the [relatively] brief period of history humans of The West have enjoyed from The Enlightenment to now (or, more correctly, about 75 years from "now") has been more the aberration, than the norm...?
