Part 1 was about eco-Socialists not really understanding choice, Supply and Demand, and the importance of Price in describing value to either a Seller or a Consumer and how it is EXTREMELY important in managing markets.

DISQUS Doodlings – Part 2: the TreeHugger Eco-Socialist may not have a firm grasp on Price
Well, Part 1 was about eco-Socialists not really understanding choice, Supply and Demand, and the importance of Price in describing value to either a Seller or a Consumer and how it is EXTREMELY important in managing markets between 10, 100s, 1000s or Billions of people by acting as a “Black Box” indicator (e.g., you don’t … Read more
DISQUS Doodlings – the TreeHugger Eco-Socialist may not have a firm grasp on Price
I do like going out to find some debates – I think that all Conservatives should bring our philosophies and ideas into the Arena of Ideas to make the case in places we’d normally not be wanted. Like, as always, TreeHugger. I’m sorta like the Bruce Currie over there with the exception that I never … Read more
DISQUS Doodlings – The use of Government Force for MY issue. You, not so much
Yet another example of the Eco-Socialists being just DANDY about the use Government on behalf of THEIR issue. Your lowly blogger rushed in because while they are all virtue-signaling about getting rid of single-use coffee cups to save the whales, that’s not really the Principle at stake.
DISQUS Doodlings – Treehugger thinks Joe Biden is a NeoConservative? Hahahahahaha!
I AM going to try to make a valiant attempt to get caught up now that TMEW’s case of shingles is now over and she’s back to her normal self (and effectively kept me from writing for most of 3 months). Didn’t stop me from READING – just not enough sustained and continued time to … Read more
DISQUS Doodlings – it would help if you actually knew what you were talking about
Talking points – especially on the Left. I see them all the time. And there are times that this engineer wants to just scream because of stupidity. Once again, we’re back to one of the harbinger sites for it – Treehugger.
DISQUS Doodlings – You will live this way (Part 2)
OK, I’m not going to repeat the list I put up here of one Eco-Socialist’s plot to achieve the UN’s IPCC plan to 45% decarbonize in 12 years. But go over there and read it again as a refresher. Otherwise, the comments below may not make much sense: I tried to warn the TreeHugger denizens “be careful of what you wish for.”
DISQUS Doodlings – Go ahead, give me ONE eco-apocalypse that has come true!
And of course, they can’t. Not a single one. I was in high school back in the early 70s and at that time, there was a rumor that we were all gonna die – of COLD! A new Ice Age was coming and we’d better get our nuke plants ready because they’d be the only … Read more
Disqus Doodlings – Treehugger is so upset we buy clothes for ourselves….Part 2
And sometimes, one has to keep stating the obvious. One of the commenters on Treehuggers’ H&M’s fast fashion is too slow for today’s shoppers post just had to wade in on the consumerist rage that these people show. I’d explain it but Chris Howard makes it abundantly clear how he feels about “shopping just because I can” outlooks.
Masturshopping.
Shopping for self pleasure, not want or need.
(Yes, I was mindful of Rule #1 here – a bit behind the line, thankfully!)
As I have said before, these kinds of folks could suck the joy out of finding a bar of gold! Put on the sackcloth and roll around in ashes is seemingly the message. Thou Shalt Not Be Happy – the environmentalist version of the dour, cannot be happy” Puritans whose legalistic ways made my home church as I was growing up look like a Pentecostal rally. That is followed by Thou Shalt Not Buy Something Just Because You Can – You’re Killing GAIA. Yes folks, it is a religious outlook. I tried to puncture the despair a bit by piling on just a tad (am I wrong in using pixel and bits in my guilty little pleasure here?).
Where Treehugger doesn’t add the 1 + 1
(H/T: Treehugger) As most readers know, I used to go over Treehugger a lot and bring back “stuff” as a Doodling – rather easy when they have a big slant for Progressivism, Urbanism, and UberEnvironmentalism all wrapped up into a single package. However, since they’ve been purging of the likes of ‘Grok commenters Cris P Bacon and C. Dog, it’s been rather barren over there (and they got sold, so there’s a “bit” of a different focus there). However, I did venture over and saw the graph – they’re all going ga-ga over this as they all seemingly hate any kind of energy source, it seems, that has anything to do with it coming from beneath dirt or water levels. “Soon!” they believe, “we’ll be free of hurting Mommy GAIA with our noxious need of hydrocarbons”.
They’re believing that all of this taxpayer funding of solar and alternative energy start-ups has been the primary driver of the lessening cost to PV panels. Well, in a way they are correct, but from my layman’s eyes, probably not the way they think. I’ve seen this play before, and I think this has more to do with it than not:
This will drive the Greenies at TreeHugger nuts!
Over at Breitbart is a post with this headline: “Coal Use Set To Surpass Oil In A Decade: IEA“. I used to go over and post comments over at TreeHugger, as regular readers of the ‘Grok know, and bring the Lefty Enviro-wacko stream of consciousness back here just so that you see what the mindset is (which is, pretty much, you all HAVE to get with our program to save GAIA from our destructive ways). Smaller is better, and that less is best. Pretty much, everyone needs to be shoved into tiny apartments into urban areas because, after all, we have to be conscious firstly and always with the energy we are using and the carbon footprint we are using to stomp on future generations lives. And of course, “white European Developed Nation Guilt” plays a large role in their sackcloth living mantra. Betcha there’s much wailing and rending of said sackcloth at this:
Coal is set to surpass oil as the world’s top fuel within a decade, driven by growth in emerging market giants China and India, with even Europe finding it hard to cut use despite pollution concerns, according to a report published Tuesday.
