It appears that most of the cost for going “Green” will be paid by the lower and middle classes; rising electricity costs, food costs, inflation, slow job creation, etc. will be placed squarely on the shoulders of those who can least afford them. We are already seeing this and the type of pretzel logic that is used to jam more people into an unworkable timetable based on the dreams of planners who believe they can ignore the realities of the marketplace.

Consider the real-life situations in the article linked below, by Bjorn Lomborg, hardly an eco-Luddite. The inefficiencies of organic farming have hit hard at the nation of Sri Lanka which had been an example of solid “Green” thinking. With falling crop yields, the nation is facing not only political instability, but food shortages while fuel, medicine, and other necessities in part due to their inability to export for hard currency. The solution again is simply to put more land under cultivation which would mean destroying more forests and increased labor hours for the farmers.
