Swedish environmental ministry made part of energy, business and industry ministry

mercredi 26 octobre 2022 à 04:33

The new right-Wing Swedish government has made the environmental ministry a part of the energy, business, and industry ministry. This is a clear statement of a policy to allow the powerful to plunder and pollute almost without limit.

The article's statement about biofuels is based on an error, the same error that EU biofuel policy is based on. The requirement to include biofuels in fuels is supposedly a way of reducing carbon emissions, because the biofuels are supposedly renewable. But they aren't, because because producing today's biofuels uses fertilizer made from petroleum.

In the future, perhaps biofuels made by microbes will actually reduce emissions. Until then, it is harmful to require the use of biofuels as they now exist.

Answer to a crisis

* Who would think a lying, hypocritical degenerate [such as Bogus Johnson] was the answer to this crisis? A large number of Conservatives, apparently.*

I can see why. Johnson is glib and can invent a lie to excuse almost anything, for the short term. Of course, people suspected the lies but it took ages to pin him down on one. That is why an act of hypocrisy which was small-scale by his standards caused such a scandal: it was one that could be proved. After Truss was brutally honest about plans so outrageous that Tories compelled her to resign, they may wish for Johnson's bogus glibness again — but it won't work. After so much time, his dishonesty has become impossible to disguise.

A Marshall plan for Africa

Ilhan Omar: *We need a Marshall plan for Africa.*

To do this, we need to make rich people and big companies pay a fair amount of tax: a much higher rate than the less-rich pay.
