Your stainless steel teaspoon 274
The processes required to make a humble stainless steel teaspoon are
remarkably complicated and every stage involves risk, coal, energy, capital,
international trade and finance. Stainless steel cutlery has taken thousands
of years of experimentation and knowledge to evolve and the end result is
that we can eat without killing ourselves with bacteria, We are in the best
times to have ever lived on planet Earth and the future will only be better.
All this we take for granted.
Greens may have started as genuine environmentalists. Much of the green
movement has now morphed into an unelected extremist political pressure
group accountable to no one. Greens create problems, many of which are
concocted, and provide no solutions because of a lack of basic knowledge.
This book examines green policies in the light of established knowledge
and shows that they are unrealistic.
Policies by greens adopted by supine governments have resulted in rising
costs, increased taxes, political instability, energy poverty, decreased
longevity and environmental degradation and they don t achieve their
ideological aims. Wind, solar and biomass energy emit more carbon
dioxide than they save and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions does
nothing to change climate and only empties the pocket. No stainless steel
teaspoon could be made using green alternative energy .
This book argues that unless the greens live sustainably in caves in the
forest and use no trappings of the modern world, then they should be
regarded as hypocrites and treated with the disdain they deserve.
