Simple. Because the “environmental world” infringes on rights for the sake of emotion versus science. Argue what you will, sweetheart. Al Gore and Greta are accurate faces for the movement. That hole is the ozone layer hasn’t killed us yet.
Regulations raise prices on every single process for American businesses/people. Taking advantage of hard-working Americans for profit from arbitrary, largely bs environmental standards is evil.
The people who call carbon a “pollutant” are not only stupid, they’re supporting sociopaths.
Perhaps we are talking about related yet different things.
My comment about environmental businesses being allowed to profit without a double standard of scrutiny is, in my view, distinctly different from what you just ranted about in your post above.
- I think a wind turbine company should be able to profit without the scrutiny of being told it should have to barely break even because it exists to generate cleaner energy.
- I think a waterways decontamination company should be able to profit without the scrutiny of being told it should have to barely break even because it exists to remove physical and chemical pollutants from creeks, rivers, ponds, and lakes.
You ranted about how companies that have products intended to make the world cleaner are infringing on your rights and are based on emotion instead of science. That is such a wildly extreme generalization that it lacks value or meaning.
You claimed Al Gore, someone who hasnt been relevant in a decade at least and who I dont think I have even heard about this decade, is a face for the movement. This isnt 2006 still- that movie of his came out 2 decades ago. He simply isnt a face of a 'movement', even if he does still talk at random conferences.
Your crying over regulations is wild. Lack of regulations is, in part, why cities were so completely dirty for decades. Regulations were a significant reason why cities are cleaner- the air, water, and ground. And in cities/states where environmental regulations have been rolled back, there is a direct connection to worse environmental conditions for people to live and recreate in. I live in a state where environmental regulations are lax and enforcement is seemingly non-existent...and it is disgusting to see the results.
Everyone should want clean air, water, and ground. This really shouldnt be a partisan issue- clean air, water, and ground helps everyone breathe better, drink healthy water, fish/boat/swim, hunt, hike, etc.
You really veered off on a tangent because nothing you posted addressed my observation that companies which exist to provide products that result in a cleaner environmental, should be able to profit without a double standard of criticism.
