Green Energy has Nothing to Do with Green… And Everything to Do with GreenBACKS.

We’ve been saying for months now, that the push toward “environmentally friendly fuels” and all of that nonsense, didn’t make sense if it was you surely from an environmentalist standpoint.  We have expressed suspicion all this time that there was something to do with the amount of money involved.  So imagine the reaction when writers, of all people, came up with this one:

LONDON (Reuters) – Mankind’s response to climate change will shift how the world gets its energy and is already making “green barons” out of early investors in renewable energy, clean technologies and carbon trading.

Reuters spoke to four entrepreneurs who are cashing in on the energy revolution and who say there is more money to be made.

As always, I will advise you to: read the whole thing.  There is much the way a new alliance, that a simple clip won’t give you.  The fact was and remains that this is all about who controls the money.  Not whether or not it’s helping the environment. Or, for that matter, what is good for the national interest.

There is something of a pattern developing here, and in more than just energy.  Limbaugh has been saying for a long time, to “follow the money”. So we see this happening with energy, we see banking institutions diving headlong into risky loans, on the idea of helping “the poor” and when those loans fall apart we see the fingerprints of Democrats (Such as John Edwards) on the profits being made of such loans.  And, does anybody really think that there isn’t an awful lot of investment capital out there just begging for governmental involvement in the Healthcare industry?

The next time you see a democrat extolling the virtues of something or another, energy, Healthcare, “equal loan opportunity” etc. as examples, look closely at where the money involved would be going.  For the most part, it will be into the pockets of those complaining the most lovely about the established energy, Healthcare, or banking industries.   With a little trim, of course, for the democratic party.

We used to call that kind of thing “corruption”.   Certainly, the democratic party members call it such when there’s even a hint that someone made some money at Haliburton. All without questioning their assertion that such involvement with said company is bad for the national interest.
