A fabulous article here by John Stossel about the ruse that is green energy. His points are not even debatable.
From the article...............
Obama claims that if we "invest" more, we can "create millions of jobs -- but only if we accelerate the "green transition." What could make more sense? A little push from the smart politicians, and -- voila! -- an abundance of new jobs and a cleaner, sustainable environment. It's the ultimate twofer. Except it's an illusion, because governments do not "create" jobs.
"All the government can do is subsidize some industries while jacking up costs for others," writes Green. "It is destroying jobs in the conventional energy sector -- and most likely in other industrial sectors -- through taxes and subsidies to new green companies that will use taxpayer dollars to undercut the competition. The subsidized jobs 'created' are, by definition, less efficient uses of capital than market-created jobs."
This is good, solid economic thinking. Many years ago, Henry Hazlitt wrote in his bestseller, "Economics in One Lesson," "The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for all groups."

So yup.........we can go green.
But heres what it means ( in part). We're all going to be driving around in little gay 2 door death traps. No more plastics in our lives ( how thrilling is that thought?
). Live in homes the size of a two car garage! Exist for years with pronounced food shortages. Agree to a significant decrease in take home pay.
And thats just a start.
The reward? ( according to the environmentalists). We can thus live in a world surrounded by nature as it was 1 million years ago!!!
The reality is................the k00ks dont mind fucking over a vast majority of the population to attain their vision.
cool
