It might be the biggest scam our civilization has ever seen. Untold amounts of money being spent on some pie in the sky plan, no realistic view at all on what is possible and what is a farce, and all being done to appease the absolutely dogmatic environmental agenda that has very clearly gone completely off the rails.
And we are already seeing the affects of that agenda with record energy prices across the board, and also the costs nobody in the consumer world is seeing. 50% increases across the board for the raw materials to produce the world's supply of stuff, especially in North America. Direct energy costs for businesses are up almost 300%. Indirect energy costs to manufacture are up almost 50%. Our industry has seen 30% price increases on raw materials directly related to the high cost of hydrocarbons, and all the products derived from them to help with manufacturing.
And to be clear, we work in an industry (wood based) that is VERY environmentally conscious, and is leading the world in sustainable manufacturing with billions of dollars in expansion planned.
Completely nuts.

There's some massive leaps in logic here.
Why are energy prices so high right now? Is it because of environmental agendas? Where's the evidence for that?
