"Green" is how taxpayer money gets funneled to universities, which in turn generate studies that promote green alarmism, which generates more money which is funneled to universities, that in turn generate....
And the economy/middle class is squeezed by higher taxes, regulations and lawsuit abuse.
I should have known.
What a racket they’ve built up for themselves. The elites really do see us as little more than cows to be milked.
One of the “green energy” shifts I have witnessed is Universities changing their fuel source from coal to torrefied wood pellets. These are different than wood pellets you can buy in bags to burn in your home pellet stove. They are more like charcoal. They are shipped bulk in hopper rail cars like coal. They will not absorb moisture like traditional wood pellets. They also burn hotter and result in higher BTUs.
Therefore, steam generating industrial boilers can switch to this fuel source without spending a lot to modify their boiler. We are currently selling these to a University in NC. There are two companies that are building these plants on the east coast with the intention of shipping their product by boat to Europe. Several European countries have mandated that X amount of their energy source needs to come from a renewable source. The torrefied wood pellet meets this mandate as a substitute for coal burning plants with minimal costs. Now, they just need to ramp up production to bring down the cost/ton of pellets.
