Yet investment in low-carbon technologies will lead to substantial job creation and growth. Germany created
100,000 jobs in the renewable sector between 2004 and 2006. In the US it is estimated that producing 5% of electricity
from wind power by 2020 would add $60bn in capital investment in rural America, provide $1.2bn in new income for
farmers and rural landowners and create 80,000 new jobs.

China as we read is stacking the rural in ghost citys already built. We shall see how that goes. Goldmith warned us of the social consequences
we seen in the corn wars of central america and recent http://www.publicintegrity.org/2013/04/ ... al-america issues from said tech...

As noted locally a 40,000 acre agr outfit just recently imploded. Indeed we seen it coming and why.

As the numbers indicated 19 percent energy is lighting from other independant studys.

I will check other numbers going forward since the low hanging fruit has already been picked.

As we note also the carbon scam is a 100 million front for the UN bureaucratic system handoff of state affairs.
Caveat Emptor should suffice Lansing going forward.......

If the case for emission cutbacks is weaker than the public has been led to believe, the claim of a “double dividend” is on even shakier ground. There really is a “consensus” in this literature, and it is that carbon taxes cause more economic damage than generic taxes on labor or capital, so that in general even a revenueneutral carbon tax swap will probably reduce conventional GDP growth.

As more will see for a undetermined amount of time they cannot buy a green 10 dollar light bulb since they do not even have third world socket to place it in or capital formation to pay inputed cost to rebuild.

Simple Recipe for Destroying an Industrial Civilization

1. Increase the costs on producers of the raw materials that power the civilization and from which its products are created. Do this by counterfeiting money and giving it to criminals and parasites who produce nothing (complete).
2. Make sure that the wages of the workers who produce the raw materials and the products rise much more slowly than the costs of the raw materials the workers depend upon for their survival. This will ensure that the workers cannot afford to buy these products. Do this using the counterfeiting procedure outlined in step 1 (complete).
3. Continue doing this until the producers can no longer make a profit and production begins to fall (nearly complete).
4. While you are doing this, tell everyone that you are "saving" the economy by means of "quantitative easing". Always remember the maxim that if you tell a lie long enough people will believe it (nearly complete).
5. Wait until no more of the raw materials that are used to power the civilization and produce its products are able to be produced and the economy crashes to and below agricultural age outputs. Congratulations, you have destroyed the industrial civilization (nearly complete).

Now what are you going to do?
While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.

I thought that the price of raw materials (commodities) was falling.

Sanford C. Bernstein estimates that the marginal cost of oil production has increased about 250 per cent over the last decade, rising from just under $30 a barrel in 2002 to a record of $104.5 a barrel last year. At the same time, cash costs have risen from $9.70 a barrel in 2002 to $44.20 a barrel last year.

It's hard to know how to measure wage compensation relative to living costs. One problem with that is the percentage of the population that has a job has been falling for about 15 years and that needs to be taken into account. This graph takes that into account.

The crack up boom is a devise to eliminate.
As before since Croesus who asked the oracle if he should wage war on the Persian empire.
The oracle responded: If you go to war with Persia, you will destroy a mighty empire.

The only discussion is Keynes and Hayek that only differed in the timing to preserve or eliminate "legal" cartel players
and the definition of moral hazard.

H is totally correct since the full engagement of humanitarianism.
Supply chain management is defined to less than two dozen internal customers anyway.
The point is management is obsolete since you just check boxes in the matrix for well over two decades.

previous context thread Sun Oct 26, 2014 8:12 am: Even if you provide accurate data you will be eaten by that tribe. Simply they are what we discussed as the proverbial fatal deceit as before. Hayek knew this as did Keynes since they only differed on the entry point to sort out needed cartels on what you may remember as the cluster nodes which keep these neo pagans today from eating each other.

Ethics was never a question with many....

a, I believe we have said it all. It's just that some things are coming to fruition as in the top floors have collapsed but the building hasn't come down yet. Also, I overestimated the intelligence of the ruling class at one point. They are gunning for full blown dark age style collapse and have succeeded.

The States will discover this. When the Governor pushed the pause button it was because of a few discussion with his revenue people what was done to keep the living poor in there own home. It was asked at that level from the community elders that she is over eighty and
owed less than 800.00 dollars and was to lose the home. Her Husband died some years ago and the sev assessment was raised from
10k to 12k so the increase was noted. The solution was given as you have a problem since you are engaging questions that you will not answer in this realm. They sent a person from the capital and it was explained clearly. You take the home of a widow and the sons of the region will
never rest until justice rains upon. Her budget was carefully detailed and the costs reduced from medical and other need based
facts which in turn brought her back to the original sev value. It was given this detail since the condition of her ability's was fine to cope with the current physical aspects of life. The mental trauma would have been devastating and this point was not relented upon. It was arranged for proper over site of needs and the medical point of view conveyed this also even from her Doctor who knew specifics and what was to be going forward for now.
Thousands per month to house elsewhere on the taxpayers, or testimony from medical and actual concerned bonded people who mitigated this situation. Another older taxpayer had basically sold his contents to pay taxes and a solution was found also. Very complicated measures have taken place and currently I said close the border and Lansing conveyed a pause button. Measures as needs based solutions can be done. The situation I conveyed years ago to a Judge resonated to budgeted measures and bonded services rendered. I am not political. I fear one alone. We just lost a member Friday of my brothers household and waiting for details on those services. As for our recent homeless tax in town a friend just found one homeless man who passed alone. As I commented to my wife in passing words I assume the increase in the city's workers wage was justified in a bitter manner on my part. The heart rules the mind and one judges both so I hold that truth evident of some good news seen also.

I had a chance encounter with a local Professor. Conclusion was a debt bomb with usury attached that was warned of even since Micah and my perception was banging out more MBA's for China was the glean in his eye. I told him a anecdotal fact that 800 engineers where tasked to one problem we already solved here and the wifi lightbulb they imported to Russia was enough for me... As I told him I had to make a moral choice in 1996 that once you write enough script to convert Ascii text to binary and decompile enough bots on the weekends to send them back to annihilate firmware you know one thing for certain. Point was it about twenty years instead of ten to see what i see today so that makes me half as smart as I thought I was on that topic. One thing for certain America is a colony as tech is cross platformed just as I seen with japan in the eighties and that ended rather poorly. As we see the Yen prints now only to produce etf fodder for the masses. As indicated the supply chain will simply learn the same lessons as before since we noted some years back as forumed here, that when parity was noted they simply could not accept that notional value. The Euro and Yuan will be fascinating to watch for a few years upcoming. I find it interesting and disturbing in a neutral tone I posited with the Golitsyn and Snowdon affairs as we watched since Nixon with the us to them disease even until the Able Archer dead hand problem. I find both swamps in the same condition of internecine debauchery by choice.
