I have not started the long and difficult task of picking who I want to support for the next presidential race. Here is what Hillary thinks about renewable energy.
I agree with just about everything she says. But as they say the devil is in the details, without more info I cant say for sure her plan would work. I worry about her tax breaks for ethanol, as I think biofuel might not be the best way to go, but who knows if they start making ethanol out of wood chips it might not be so bad.
Lets hope all the other candidates come out and say how they stand on these issues in a similar straight forward way.
A series of inadequate bandaids that rewards the culprits. Hillary is seriously in bed with the oil and coal companies. They get to keep their “windfall profits” if they invest it in alternative technologies. This means that they continue controlling our lives and exacting tribute.
What is needed to reduce emissions by 70% in 10 years:
1. Cap emissions and trade carbon certificates (permits) on an international market.
2. Issue carbon permits to each individual on the planet, or to countries on a per capita basis. Set up an international organization with the power to ensure compliance with emission caps,and that the money transferred to developing countries in payment for their unused permits goes to the poorest people and is used to develop sustainable economies
3. Widely distributed energy production, both in terms of ownership and geography. Take back control from the corporate giants.
Governments being the worst polluters, how can anyone seriously expect the perps to somehow ‘fix’ the problem?
Al Gore uses his wealth to maintain a fabulously wasteful lifestyle, while somehow claiming that it’s environmentally responsible. Nice… but most of us don’t have those enormous (and protected… remember, he’s connected, just like Shrub) piles of cash laying about. We actually have to conserve, cuz we sorta kinda… WORK for a living.
They still take over half of it, though… and that makes us slaves.
