More signs of Green Failure
The
original motive of the Gaian cult, when it was founded by Margaret Mead, Stewart Brand, et al, was to impoverish civilization so we'd stop polluting.
Later on they linked up with the Wall Street Mafia, which saw opportunities to enrich the rich while starving everyone else.
Well, both got what they wanted. The rich are richer than ever, and all others are hopeless.
Most Western countries have lost so much industry to the Gaia/Goldman conspiracy that they can't function any more. There's no more surplus wealth, so the subsidized Gaian luxuries like wind and solar "power" and electric cars are fading quickly. As I've
noted before, this is a nice piece of negative feedback. Gaea, the real biosphere, takes her revenge on Gaia, the green destroyer.
And at the same time, the
original goal has blown up in their faces. Newly poor countries can't subsidize nuclear plants and hydro dams either, so the best sources of truly
non-polluting energy are also fading. Coal and natural gas are cheap.
Relatively sane countries like France and Turkey are succeeding because they didn't allow the Gaia/Goldman conspiracy to take full control.
This gradient between the sane and insane lands is now working from another angle to break down the original anti-pollution purpose of the Gaians. Spain was playing the Gaia/Goldman game to the hilt, and lost its industrial shirt in the process.
Now, via NPR, a Spanish village is happily accepting a French nuclear waste recycling plant.
¡Sí! ¡En mi barrio sí, por favor!
It's damn hard to convince starving people that they must Starve Harder To Save The Planet.
