COMPLY with the radicals, the communists. Men can be women. Being white is evil. Utilizing more energy to build tall fiberglass windmills on concrete bases with steel poles than the windmills will produce in their short 25 year life expectancies is irrelevant. Al Gore and his followers want them and that is that. Killing birds by the thousands - who cares. They don't work when there's no wind, who cares. They have to be de-iced by helicopters, I can't hear you, racist pig.
Fund companies including Vanguard Group, BlackRock Inc. and State Street Corp. that sell investment products in the European Union come under the new rules that took effect this month, though details are still being finalized.
“There are many issues to be resolved, it is causing anxiety,” said Rick Lacaille, global lead for environmental, social and governance investing at State Street, whose SPDR exchange-traded funds are some of the most popular.
Surging investor appetite for green investments means that rules on disclosure, both for traditional funds and those that call themselves sustainable, will become increasingly important.
