A few are making a bundle from the Green New Deal, but it impoverishes most of the rest of us. From Elizabeth Nickson at elizabethnickson.substack.com:
A few years ago when I was building my house, I attended a “green” building conference in San Francisco. Gavin Newsom and Bobby Kennedy, Jr. were giving keynote addresses, and across the conference floor were strewn hundreds of booths of builders, engineers, architects, visionaries, and commercial interests selling every manner of material, equipment, skill sets, and propaganda. Buildings, I was told, emit 59 percent of carbon emissions, and green builders would shut that down. And it would be profitable.
At the time I was neutral but dubious. I had completed a “green” subdivision and had promised puzzlingly powerful members of “the community” that I would build a “green” house. It wasn’t a requirement but it was an acceptable challenge and I knew I would be fascinated by the exercise.
I followed the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) platinum template, contracted the job myself. I wanted to build a healthy house, which meant as little chemical off-gassing as possible. Despite my savings, which were considerable, it still cost 40 percent more than a traditional stick-frame. The geothermal system cost $35,000 more than traditional heating and no, I have not “made back that money.” Today that cost would be north of $150,000.
Sparks fly when the green nude eel and AI meet up?
Naw, AI will say your terms are acceptable.
It should be associated with comrade commissar FDR of the CPUSA (D) this reeking scaly fish, after all he was the original Fundamental Transformation never let a crisis go to waste preezy of the steezy. (h/t-JF)
Homegrown comrades will follow their external masters PRC/CCP and live the capitalist life while the rest of us are equal in misery, poverty, squalor.
Arrogant in their virtue signal while prattling on about muh environment in Thurston Howell III lovey voice like the poseurs that they are.
I’m helping, comrade, with an index finger up the nose.
Just back from grocery and there was a convertible Corvette couple with hot red head down in the dumpster, I spotted her hair just before dropping some trash and moved to the next one.
A large box of steaks but they were unwrapped, the animals will enjoy those.
There’s a sign of an on fire economy, on fire as in burning it all down and the waste will be just as bad with the watermelon pinko greenies.
Or one of those enviro rallies where there is a massive amount of trash and debris everywhere after it is completed.
Power and control is always the goal.
