Great summary of the dilema that continues for both you in US and yor neighbours to the north and south. Hopefully ther may be some international pressure at the G8/G20 summits here. Just watched the latest commercial for Clean energy on CN that uses the oil psill as the backdrop so hopefully it will reverse the negative that came out of copenhagen and the Climate Change data fiasco.
The EPA’s recent report does debunk the naysayers’ claims that addressing these issues will hurt the economy and add to the deficit. When will they get with it? When we’re all wearing air filtration masks and the coastal areas are being submerged in the sea? Keep up the good work. Unfortunately, your readership does not consist of people who really need to hear the facts to make the right choices. Those people are watching Glenn Beck tonight. %-(
In the days of Nazi Germany this type of rhetoric would be construed as “propaganda”, today it is known as PUBLIC RELATIONS.
It is the epitome of arrogance to present the illusion that one individual [Rona Fried] speaks for the American people, especially one who stands to benefit financially from any and all legislation to enable and empower the [alleged] “Green Movement”.
I was a contractor in the residential home improvement industry for 35 years experience, and was a licensed and certified environmental contractor, as well, dealing specifically with Asbestos Abatement, and I can tell you from first hand experience that the American people are not ready to fund the “The Next New Deal,” and provide job security or Rona Fried, her wonderful new industry, and/or her friends.
The real problem is that America’s Congress has stood by, since 1978, as 16,600 corporations have been taken out of America, and the jobs that once employed millions of Americans, with them, and no amount of postulating, that “the Green Industry can save America, and create new jobs,” will actually do it.
It is absolutely absurd to think that we have arrived at the point in time when we are listening to verbiage, that a few seemingly wondrous ideas, such as forcing homeowners to pay to have their houses retro-fitted with a bunch of nonsense, so as to generate revenue, is a good enough idea as to replace the millions of jobs we need to truly sustain an economy of our size.
If we have no jobs, we have no jobs!
It doesn’t do any good to call “a few construction projects,” “a new sustainable industry!”
This reminds me of a saying by Abraham Lincoln:
“IF YOU CALL A DOG’S LEG A TAIL, IT DOESN’T MAKE IT A TAIL!”
Nomolos, you are obviously and educated and articulate person. Why the attitude towards Dr. Fried? I met her a few years ago when her business was in negative cash flow way before everyone started to see that ‘Green’ meant more green in the wallet and jumped on the bandwagon. Her intentions are true and viable and necessary to add to the incresing sincere voices that realize that things must change if we are to have any type of standard of living and health for our children and grandchildren. Things aren’t getting better. We live in a selfish society that is very nearsighted. Rona’s only intent is to attempt to incrimentally extend that vision. Please don’t misconstrue a true desire to move people in a sustainable direction with greed and avarice. I know this is not the case. B-the-B
