Once the solar energy finds a way to finance installation, it will be the engine that will grow the economy.  The Nation had a big series of these articles this week.  The other one I liked was on where all the green jobs gone from the stimulus.  Congress has left all that to linger by not renewing the funding for it or dropping the funding.  </p> <p>There is a article in today's Guardian on China's pollution that is effecting west coast weather, that I have not had a chance to read. Also they have just recently found a hole in the Ozone out over the Pacific Ocean east of New Guinea.  The scientists are really baffled over that. </p> <p>The Hayes essay is interesting because of the history.  This ties into the book by Thomas Piketty on historical wealth.  You will need to keep me posted on whether it is on the NYT best seller list and how long it stays there.  The economist are really talking up this book and his research. </p> <p>The fact that the GOP has been fighting to hold back the economy has also have a lot to do with dirty energy not wanting to let go of their money flow.  The technology is breathing down their neck.  The general public has been kept busy with a class and racial war while the 1% keeps making money at the expense and risk of the future. We really need to start looking closer under the covers of these organizations.  Harry Reid and others are starting to do just that.  Like Hayes pointed out the dirty energy industry has a soft under belly because they need the investors.  </p> <p>Thanks for your comment.   </p> </div></div></div> Fri, 25 Apr 2014 00:24:28 +0000 trkingmomoe comment 194894 at http://dagblog.com Yeah, I read some of the http://dagblog.com/comment/194886#comment-194886 <a id="comment-194886"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/fossil-fuel-companies-will-have-give-10-trillion-dollars-wealth-stop-global-warming-184">The Fossil Fuel Companies Will Have to Give Up Trillions of Dollars of Wealth to Stop Global Warming </a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Yeah, I read some of the articles.</p> <p>Now, if I 'tie into' the energy grid, and if I receive deductions from my energy bill every month for electricity charges, I really do not protest that some charge is mandated.</p> <p>But damn, the purpose and the motive of those lobbying bastards is to keep folks from opting for their own benefits.</p> <p>Five bucks is different from fifty bucks.
