    Europe So Green

    Wonder if chuck wants to crow about that green revolution in Europe now.


    https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/climate-policies-helped-put-54-million-europeans-into-energy-poverty-canadians-are-next Climate policies helped put 54 million Europeans into 'energy poverty.' Canadians are next
    According to the EU, 54 million people already cannot afford their energy bills

    The number of Europeans affected by this problem is high. According to the European Union in its 2015 report on rising energy costs, fully 11 per cent of its member states’ population — that’s 54 million people — already cannot afford their energy bills. The EU further estimates that fully one-quarter of residents, or 128 million people (and that includes the existing 54 million), are at risk of being energy poor.

    Enviro whackos think differently than the rest of us. You would think being left wing should mean they are worried about the collect interest of all, but not so.

    I was in Seattle a couple years ago and had a spirited conversation with a lady who found out that I was a farmer who seeded GMO's and used glyphosate. I stated that there were people starving in the world and that we needed to produce as much food as possible to feed the world.

    She stated simply with a shrug of her shoulders "There are too many people in the world anyway".

      Meanwhile as we are being charged an open-ended carbon tax, Japan builds coal plants:

        Anyone ever see a coal plant radiate land to unusable?

            Well we aren't setting the price or controlling the distribution are we? Take that up with someone else. Already growing this stuff at bargain basement prices, if its the rich that eat it so be it.

                We are setting the price by growing too much for the amount of rich people who can afford to buy it. You can't always absolve yourself and blame everyone else.

                  The Baloney Detector went off again..

                  For the first 5 months of this crop year Canada has shipped 1,389,000 tonnes of wheat other than durum to countries with a GDP less that 5% of Canada's(2018 figures)

                  Don't tell me the rich people and their livestock ate it all

                    What's worse is we tell everyone what we grow without knowing it and put a medal of Honor on guys that give their data away for free....by social media....or being linked to someone who is reading your data regularly....for free....
