The green movment like in the 70's has little reguard for the effects that is has on other people! Now saying that their desire is driven by a rational plan to improve the planet, but they tend to disreguard the facts. They care little for the jobs that it would force overseas, and the unemployment it would cause. They could care less that it has a financial effect on others. which would most likely explain why many or I should say most of the people in the movment come from upper income families and they have little need for income as they can count on family wealth to support them.
They care little that the jobs they would force overseas would mean more world pollution, as long as they can be seen as reducing polution in their area. which leads me to beleive that they really do not beleive in global warming either, or they would understand that sending jobs to china where there is little in the way of enviroment restrictions would be counter productive.
This is what will cause the poor and middle class to reject green energy so strongly that it will be once again defunded and sent to the wood shed for decades. Which will once again delay the technology that will one day make green energy the cheap alternative to fossil fuels. Energy policy will turn in the next 5 years toward massive production of fossil fuel energy, clean coal, and natural gas. All to remove the governemnt imposed burden of high energy prices. President Obama stated it perfectly when he said the price of fossil fuel energy must necessarily skyrocket for green energy to have a chance. It has, and green energy is still 3 times more expensive!
Instead of wasting billions in subsidies to companies that have no customers, we must put this into reasearch and development, through the university systems to develope the technology that will drive the conversion to green energy! unless this becomes the policy of the future, green energy is doomed!
