Failed Green Policies - because they are NOT REALGreen Enough!

Green policies: too much of not enough
..from http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2883301.htm

Oh If they were REALGreen Policies!???

Yuss! I tend to agree with the article's author Chris Berg.

Jumping on the Green bandwagon has truly been the flavor-of-the-new-era, if-not of the new millennium.

And “RIPPA!” I say.

But what has always been roaringly clear to meself, is that huge stumbling-blocks always have policy-makers trip-over and break their polls.

I know I'm not the only one to see that the blocks are ALWAYS where profit-taking is catered to.

I have posted a few blogs over the last few years about this, but addressing the issues of making it possible for LOCALS, that-is, the bloke over the back fence (in suburbia), or down the street, who, as I wrote, may be seen as a bit of a misfit in society - a wierdo - a geek - a reclusive mad scientist - or such, to not only produce the gizmos, usually simple to make and operate, AND SAFE, but to teach those living around them, how to make our own energy, etc.

“Going Local” is the catch-phrase even the British TORIES are using in their latest election campaigning.

But how sincere they are is quite another cup of tea, old chum, say what?

The reason such ideal calls cannot get legs in our, or any parliament, is that it goes against the multinational corporate IMF psychosis of centralised ownership and control. Profit!

There's an American bloke whose internet website I've clicked-on over the last few years who is now, I think, making a very healthy little income, from selling for a reasonable price, kits and instructions for HOMEMADE solar electricity panels. Last time I peeked, he was under pressure from OH! Surprise surprise - multinational corporations - for being too honest about making power.

Nevertheless, I'm sure he's savvy enough and has enough Angels on his side to persist and overcome the phantoms of the multinational opera.

Every geek and home-electro-wizz knows that electricity is REALLY EASY to produce ourselves, to the point where electricity bills should be - WORLDWIDE - a thing of the profit-centred-psychosis past!

Yet, nation's full of idiots too upemselves to bother, are entrapped in debt and financial and environmental catastrophes, letting evil energy corporations and government servants, advisers and consultants cream their hard-earned money and their planet's environment from under them/us!?

The points in Chris Berg's article avoid these rudimentary questions and answers as to how we can go green and not electrocute shonky insulation-fitters, or have solar-panel schemes blow-out, and the rest.

And why?

Well, young Bergie has to earn enough to keep a roof over his head! And even THEIR ABC and the IPA (Institute for Pubic Affairs (TYPO!) with whom Bergie is a 'Research Fellow'!) are not going to sacrifice the Holy Grail of foreign control of our Souls for THE FACTS!?

Clearly, the environment DOES NOT fit nice and profitably with ruthless moneymaking corporate giants, who have the exclusive patterns and patents and rights and cash-flows to make - solar panels, household insulation, plumbing, building materials, motorised vehicles, etc etc etc, and who seem to assume the unassailable right to demand exorbitant amounts of the public's money for them! AND.., to direct government policy?

It is only because the Demos, the People, have been so divided by RELIGIOUS, corporate and foreign dynastic spin, over centuries, that we are sent to sleep with grand plans of geothermal, tidal, and other HUGE power generation schemes proposed by all and sundry of our politicians, who bend over for the multinationals' 30 pieces of silver, day-in-day-out.

In-and-out. In-and-out. In-and-out. In-and-out.

The failed “green-schemes” of the last year or so, serve best to show us that all our main-party politicians are powerless AND gutless against the blackmailing might of the multinationals, and for that off-shore blackmail, have to ignore the genuine and worthy REALGreen ideas which brew quietly in most every Local-Geeks' Brilliant mind, each time they get around paying the corps for their own home-made utilities, etc.

It IS obvious, that Australia needs quite a lot more than Reform of the taxation system!

Chris Berg ends saying that the policies weren't thought-out enough.

Yup! Probably close enough, Chris (in my humble opinion). But perhaps "thought" was constrained by (un)-economic demands of this compete-compete-compete to compete MORE false-economic tyranny we call "the system"?

Did I say Reform, or........

REVOLUTION?
