The Government with its enviro-agenda, it seems to be neglecting one thing. The majority of us middle or low-income earners would like to ‘go green’ but it is just too expensive. I would love to have a wind turbine and solar panels generating household electricity but it would take me decades to recoup the initial investment.
Another example: nearly 200,000 Band G high-emission vehicles entered our road network last year. Why dose not the Government limit the number sold per year from the most polluting bands to 30,000? The prices would increase as supply would be less than demand and anyone willing to pay the premium to own one of the 30,000 should also be able to easily afford the congestion charges, oil, fuel and parking fees that these big and powerful organizations would attract.
In Wednesdays ‘Metro’ I have read that ‘Nasa is too skint to save us! The cost of finding all the asteroids that might hit Earth is too high to do anything about it’. Nasa says. Tracking at least 90 per cent of the 20,000 potentially ‘killer’ asteroids and comets by 2020 would cost about £519million. One of the solutions would be to build a new ground telescope solely with other ‘helpers’ telescopes for a total of £415million. Another option would be to launch ‘a space infrared telescope’ which is faster for £500million. After this proposal Nasa and White House officials have made their statement: ‘The decision of the agency is we just can’t do anything about it right now’. As if they have any other, more interesting things to do, than protecting millions of people on this planet from complete disaster!
My question: Is it all worth it? Does the recycling ‘things’, energy savings, green pollutions and all the rest of helping the climate change issues are going to change anything?
My opinion is: At the end of the day, the history like to repeat it self, so the world is going to the end and no matter how hard we will try to stop it, planet earth needs to reborn. We still have enough time to find another liveable planet and prepare it for our grandchildren to come.
