Barroso's new light bulbs are a crime against all Europeans. Fluorescent lamps contain highly toxic mercury, and LEDS contain toxic lead and arsenic. Under a perverse legislation, Fourth Reich is forcing its citizens to bring toxic waste into their homes and contaminate the environment. http://venitism.blogspot.com
If a fluorescent lamp is broken, a very small amount of mercury can contaminate the surrounding environment. EPA recommends airing out the location of a fluorescent tube break and using wet paper towels to help pick up the broken glass and fine particles. Any glass and used towels should be disposed of in a sealed plastic bag. Vacuum cleaners can cause the particles to become airborne, and should not be used. But even if the bulbs are not broken, they end up in household garbage, leaving the mercury to ultimately seep into the soil and groundwater.
Green investments and green jobs are stupid socialistic ideas that deviate resources from more profitable investments and more productive jobs. But now mandatory stupid energy-saving measures, including renovating public buildings, energy-saving schemes for utilities, and energy audits for all large firms, will be required by an EU stupid energy efficiency directive approved in plenary on Tuesday.
Claude Turmes (Greens/EFA, LU) says: This essential legislation is not only crucial for achieving our energy security and climate goals; it will also give a real boost to the economy and create jobs. Crucially, it will reduce the sizeable and growing cost of our dependence on energy imports - €488 billion in 2011 or 3.9% of GDP - which is particularly stark in crisis-hit countries.
Climate scare is the hottest hoax on Earth! Vaclav Klaus points out people tend to confuse environment protection with climate control. We have to take care of our rivers, lakes, seas, forests, and air. But humans cannot control the climate. Rabblerousers have been for a long time searching for a simple and sufficiently threatening catastrophe that could justify the implementation of kleptocratic ambitions. After having tried various alternative ideas, they came up with the idea of dangerous, man-made global warming. This concept was formulated despite the absence of reliable data. http://venitism.blogspot.com
The stupid directive will require member states to renovate 3% of the total floor area of heated and cooled buildings owned and occupied by their central government. This will apply to buildings with a total useful floor area of more than 500 m², and as from July 2015, of more than 250 m². However, member states will also be able to use alternative means to achieve equivalent energy savings.
A freakish commercial of Greenpeace shows an angry child accusing all adults of destroying his future with global warming! Thousands of drones benefit directly from the global warming scare, at the expense of the ordinary consumer. Environmental organizations globally, such as Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, and the Environmental Defense Fund, have raked in billions of dollars. Government subsidies for useless mitigation schemes are skyrocketing. Emission trading programs are at two hundred billion euros a year level, with large fees paid to brokers, those who operate the scams, and kleptocrats. Many people have discovered they can benefit from climate scares and have formed an entrenched alliance with mafiosi and kleptocrats.
Energy companies covered by the stupid directive will have to achieve a cumulative end-use energy savings target by 2020. This target will have to be at least equivalent to achieving new savings, each year, from 2014 to 2020, of 1.5% of annual energy sales to final customers, by volume, and averaged over the most recent three-year period before the directive takes effect.
Socialists and radical environmentalists have been trying for decades to reshape communities to conform to their preferred pseudosmart-growth policies. These advocates work to impose land use regulations that would force citizens into denser living arrangements, curtail freedom of choice in housing, discriminate against lower-income citizens, and compel people to pay more for their houses and give up their cars in favor of subways, trolleys, buses, and bicycles. http://venitism.blogspot.com
These efforts - often described as New Urbanism, sustainable development, or open land preservation - have long been resisted by most members of the community due to their negative impact on economic growth, competitiveness, and the standard of living. Communities implementing pseudosmart-growth policies have significantly higher home prices, which precludes moderate-income households from homeownership. In turn, these high home prices have forced buyers to take on excessive levels of mortgage debt, which has contributed to default and foreclosure problems.
All large enterprises will be required to undergo a stupid energy audit. These stupid audits will need to start within three years of the stupid directive's entry into force and should be carried out every four years by qualified and accredited experts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will be excluded from this stupid obligation.
Special provisions for establishing financing facilities for energy efficiency measures will be included in the stupid directive. Member states would have to facilitate the establishment of these facilities or the use of existing ones. http://venitism.blogspot.com
