    The problem is the Environmentalists in name only that are actually just political activists. They really don't care who they kill. They just want their imaginary causes to be victorious.

    US Environmentalists know that shipping products overseas cause 2 things:
    1) Mostly unregulated pollution
    2) Lower Price. Lower Quality. More trash and consumerism.

    You don't fix cheap Chinese junk. You buy a new one.
    So you double the manufacturing pollution. Double the shipping pollution. Double your trash pile.

    All of that would alarm someone really interested in the environment.
    They would want it made in the USA and to be of the highest value to prevent waste.
    Let's go Brandon !!!

    I suspect that behind all of the environmental alarmism, at a business and governmental level, all of this is seeking a new economic engine. When I was young, the Cold War and military spending kept the economy churning. Going into the 90s as the Cold War ended, things began transitioning to computers and communications tech, which then led into networking and the internet. All of that required new infrastructure which spurred economic growth. All of that has matured and is no longer expanding at a rate that can drive economic growth. I’m guessing that all this climate hysteria and “green Revolution” stuff is a sales pitch. What the powers that be want is the new economic engine that promises. I’m not so sure it will work though and if we become too invested in it only to find the tech isn’t mature enough it will have serious consequences.
