Watching the ABC (news?) and wading through the Oprah worship we arrive at multiple whinges about the rising costs of electricity. Some forecasters are claiming that electricity costs will double in the next 3,4,5? years and triple soon after. Various cut-away shots of pensioners doing it tough are interspersed with 'experts' telling us how to cut costs...but no one dares to talk about the elephant in the room.
Why are electricity prices rising so rapidly?
Why are we who live in one of the worlds greatest coal reserve nations having to deal with such enormous costs?
Simply stated it has everything to do with green totalitarianism. The greens are committed to bringing down the industrial base of the western economy's. Some, no doubt, do it from a sincere (but misguided) desire to 'save' Gaia, reflecting the never ceasing hubris of the human condition.
An increasing number however, i.e. those of the 'watermelon' brigades, are motivated by a more sinister agenda and will not cease until they have destroyed 'capitalism' and replaced it with their version of the workers utopia......God help us all if they succeed.
"Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.” C. S. Lewis
