"Environmentalism" is a movement, and your above paragraph shows
how that movement is closely related to the old Communist movement,
in philosophy. The "most powerful" are able to pass-on the cost of any
change, it's the rest of us who pay to advance your cause. Class
warfare and "Power to the People" of Communism always produced
a restrictive society where "everyone" was accountable to the State, and
those of the Communist party running it.
The advance of technology, which the Environmentalist Movement
disdains, provides more benefits to "Clean Water & Air" than any number
of "Hippie want-a-be" Environmentalists, rallying to have the government
spend more "on the Environment". Which often involves money going
to programs headed by ex-leaders of the Environmentalism Movement.
That it is all really about control and money, not clean air & water, is
obvious with the Environmentalist conceived and managed "banking"
and sale of Credits".
If clean and efficient batteries, solar panels, bio fuels, whatever...,
could
be sold at a profit, there are plenty of those "most powerful" who would
be trying to earn that profit. If enough of those "everyone" thought the
current crop of electric vehicles were worth what they cost (even with
the subsidies), and bought them the makers would gladly make more to
sell. Once anyone is making a profit, all the other greedy terrible "most
powerful" will be trying to do the same. It's not Environmentalists or
any program they force the rest of us to pay for, that will put a large
number of electric cars on the road, it will be those greedy "most
powerful", trying to make a profit.
Luck;
Ken
