Blow-jobs drive unemployment
March 10 2011


A study of renewable energy in Scotland now shows that for every job
created in the alternative energy sector, almost four jobs are lost in
the rest of the economy.

This is a new study called "Worth The Candle?" by the consulting firm
Verso Economics which confirms the experience of Spain and other
countries: The creation of "green" jobs destroys other jobs through the
diversion of resources and the denial of abundant sources of fossil fuel
energy.

The economic candle in the UK is being blown out by wind power. The
Verso study finds that after the annual diversion of some �330 million
from the rest of the UK economy, the result has been the destruction of
3.7 jobs for every "green" job created.

The study concludes that the "policy to promote renewable energy in the
UK has an opportunity cost of 10,000 direct jobs in 2009-10 and 1,200
jobs in Scotland". So British taxpayers, as is the case in the US, are
being forced to subsidise a net loss of jobs in a struggling economy.

I suppose it could be worse, though . they could be building electric
vans.



The real money should be spent on thorium reactors to power the future.
And we should start methyl hydrate mining as soon as possible
to make sure we have an ample supply of high energy hydrocarbons
to power the chemistry of modern civilization.

The alternative is clear enough.
Oil is 'running out' by 1% every six months - enough to last another 50
years. The prices are going up 2% or 3% every six months to cover the
shortage.

So now they are killing a few sheiks and one family dictators in the middle
east for fun so that people can buy bread.

Very soon the politicians in the west won't have a handle on oil price
rises and people are gonna want to kill them to buy bread because these
politicians are the same ones who haven't spent the money on
methyl hydrates and thorium reactors to placate the masses because of the
politics of AGW.


Where is all the funding coming from to fund AGW studies?
From windfarms. Every time a one of those fans go around, it generates
another dollar to fund crap science that furthers green causes
in a subversive and malicious way that prevents thorium reactors
and methyl hydrate mining in the same way as oil companies
buy up politicians to prevent these initiatives getting off the
ground to cheapen energy prices.

One way or the other, the oil companies and greenies are going
to bring the world to an end as it has already started
to unravel in the middle east.

This is the last warning to politicians to act to take
all the profits from oil and windfarm companies and use it to fight their
influence and use it to invest in thorium reactors and methyl hydrate
mining.

Investing in thorium reactors and energy security policy is not enough -
that only produces energy. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE THE WORLD. We still
need high energy hydrocarbons for driving chemical reactions for making
everything from medicines to paint. If the oil is gone in 50 years, then we
won't have any medicines and all the organic chemistry chemicals that are
derived from high energy hydrocarbons.
So WE MUST start mining methyl hydrates now so that we can have high energy
hydrocarbons tomorrow to make all the chemicals of modern civilization.
Falling victim to the AGW warmies and holding back from mining
methyl hydrate will trigger a day of rage in the west when people can't buy
bread because they can see all the money being pocketed by rich oil
companies, the politicians who are seen to be in their pay, rich dictators
and their one families who pocket all the money.
