    Where Are The Green Projects?

    So the patch (and evil resource economy) has been neutered just like Greta wanted, Carbon tax is raping the land for revenue and modifying behavior, lefty Marxists got what they wanted. Here we are.

    So where are all the green projects? Teck, CG, EE, LNG, NG all represented about $100-250B in lost investment, so we need to make that up on the green side now cause that's what this is about right?

    So where are the 1000s of windmills we need going up? Where is the 1000 acre solar plants going up? I don't see anything happening. Any multi billion dollar wind farms going upÉ I mean the investors are all lining up for this we are told. Its such a no brainer. And don't look to the provincial govts, that's not their area. If CO2 regulation and the environment are federal jurisdiction on behalf of the climate crisis then its up to the feds to start solving the climate crisis.

    Any projects being announced or working their way through the approval process? I want to apply for a solar panel polisher job or a dead bird gatherer, where do I drop off my resume?

      Yes I laugh when they talk about all
      These green jobs out there.
      There may be a few.
      But pretty much a joke.
      The only thing green they will
      Be doing, when the UI runs out ,is picking bottles out of
      The highway ditches

          Perhaps without massive wealth creation from the fossil fuel industry, we can't afford to build green projects?

          This from a thread a few months ago regarding "green jobs", it gets expensive in a hurry when it takes 10 times more workers to create 10 times less energy:

          The other good news, is on the jobs front. I'm sure you have seen this headline by now:
          https://www.newscientist.com/article...13M7qpqUEeeKK8

          The title of the article didn't come up in the shortened link, it is as follows:
          US green economy has 10 times more jobs than the fossil fuel industry
          Which, taken at face value, means that it only takes 10 times more labour to produce 10 times less energy than the equivalent in fossil fuels:

          So, again, if we take their study at face value, renewables are only 100 times more costly ( if you pay the employees the same wage), as fossil fuels. Not quite sure why they would be proud of that, but they go to great efforts to prove that it will create more jobs than it eliminates. If you were to break that down further to include only solar and wind, it would be an interesting statistic.

            It's the liberal way - do nothing and make nice noises.
