When Al Gore, the global warming alarmist & professional purveyor of smoke & mirrors politics left the office as the V.P. of the US, his net worth was about 2 Million.
He is now worth over $200 million dollars, in great part to his global warming carbon credit scheme, & speaking engagements.
It didn’t take long before Light Bulb companies & car companies realized that old Al was onto a massive Cash cow, & soon the news spread to money mongers all over the world.
After that, the professional publicists began to work the phones & spend massive amounts of ad money to create a very convincing “Go Green” campaign designed to dupe the masses into accepting more “green” taxes, & the fact that we would have to absorb the costs of Gas reformulation to “Save the Polar Bear”.
Meanwhile idiots in Washington have jumped the bandwagon so as to keep in stride with the left’s intention of making this a Presidential Campaign issue. Instead of Republican’s having the courage to expose the lies from the left, they found it more expedient to go with the flow. Without ever researching the science behind it, they bought into the lie that incandescent Mercury filled light bulbs that are believed to contribute to cancer would be better for us all, & in effect, mandated their use in homes & business by the year 2012. I don’t know who’s dimmer, these bulbs, or the lawmakers who signed them into law. I do know this though, just as in the case of the reformulated gasoline, their reaching into YOUR pockets to MORE THAN cover the cost of “Going Green.” I’ve also noticed that cars are pinging more than ever, which can slowly cause engine damage. I’m looking into whether this is a result of the reformulated gas, & I suspect it is. Again, the additional costs to fix your motor will come out of YOUR pocket unless we class action the oil companies who are screwing with it. But back to those light bulbs, which are a pretty good scam I’d say.. I mean actually getting people to pay them to put Mercury poison filled light bulbs in their houses, as well as raising your cancer & migraine headache risk. Oh, & by the way, you can’t just throw a Mercury filled bulb in the trash, because it’ll end up in a landfill, & then eventually in the water supply after it rains on that land fill. So guess who will pay to dispose of them? YOU!
Meanwhile those who have pursued truth in science can barely make their voices heard, but that is beginning to change thankfully, with sound & factual articles like this one in the Boston Globe online.
It’s just another way for greedy people to get rich, & politicians to make themselves look like “Agents of Change” by touting the their accomplishments in issuing the latest pop science backed decrees on the most recent leftist, environmental feel good fad.. One name comes to mind, along with one vision. Jimmy Carter, & long lines at the pump. Gas shortages, & $5.00 a gallon gas, coming soon to a station near you. ~Dan Lee
