Why are you against Green or environmentalist thinking?
I am just trying to understand why some people are so vehemently opposed to doing and using "green" things that help the environment.
I just don’t understand why… it saves money, it saves the environment and it helps to reduce pollution. Regardless of weather or not you "believe" in global warming (as if it is a religion) do people still not see all of the positive benefits of using green products and building green LEED certified homes and buildings?
I’m really confused and would like real answers from real people who are against environmentalism.
thanks
Reganomics Hooked on Logic’s Profile, I know what you mean about the political aspect of it all. The funny thing is I guess I would consider myself a conservative, maybe even a republican although I have major issues with the neo-conservative republican "thought process" (or lack there of). The people I meet who are so against the "green libral stuff" are all neo-cons, but isn’t saving the environment and becomming less dependant on foriegn oil… conserving?
I just dont get it.
Chuck,
I dissagree, I dont see whats wrong with making "green" solutions profitable. It creates more job and eventually that will drive the prices down due to competitivenes.
Peppersh,
green things are not going to cause more people to starve. Its just a market shift, a solar panel plant will provide jobs just like a coal mine, they are just different. The fact remains, we are a capitalistic society and this new movement will create alot of new jobs, hell its already doing so.
What we need to look out for is stupidity… For instance, corn ethanol as someone pointed out earlier, takes way more energy to produce than just burning gass, so it is just plain stupid to look at it as an alternative energy source. The wood and gas fireplaces, although I havent heard about that, is again not a good move, but then again having a fireplace is not too smart either. Fireplaces do not warm a home, they actually draw air out of the house making your heating system have to work harder.
