A group of executives who want to fight global warming has published a new report calling for countries to spend up to $600 billion a year over the next two decades to boost green energy deployment and energy efficiency equipment.
The Energy Transitions Commissions (ETC) report claims additional investments of around $300-$600 billion per annum do not pose a major macroeconomic challenge, which they say will help the world meet the goals laid out in the Paris agreement.
ETC is made up of energy executives, activist leaders and investment bankers, including former Vice President Al Gore, who would no doubt get a piece of the trillions of dollars they are calling for.
ETCs goal is to accelerate change towards low-carbon energy systems that enable robust economic development and limit global warming. ETCs report comes out as the Trump administration considers whether or not to stay party to the Paris agreement, which went into effect in 2016...
Thats a $15 trillion price tag to theoretically limit future global warming.

An Excellent Point. I was being a little narrow minded. The hypocrisy doesn't just stop at the door of AlGore's mansion.
OR his other mansion.
Or his other mansion.
Or, his other really, really nice mansion.

Yeah, my first thought was “Let’s start with AlGore’s money first.”

Spending federal funds on “global warming” should be a violation of the First Amendment. It is a religion, isn’t it?

Sure. And as you know, he gets a slice of the carbon offset fees. I forget if he gets it all or it simply goes to an entity he is a partner of.

ETCs goal is to accelerate change towards low-carbon energy systems that enable robust economic development. They couldn't be any more vague. Imagine if Hellary had won the election, she'd have been the 1st one up volunteering, trying to look like a 'Champion' for the cause. We really picked one off there and Amen for that.

I would like to see the many taxes GONE from my next AZ Public Service bill. These taxes and fees are more than my actual electricity usage!

Well, gee, Al. There's aluminum can collection, bounty hunting, truffle gathering (although you should have a pig to help you find them), paper drives, door-to-door magazine sales, candy sales, cookie sales, direct sales including Avon, jewelry, household chemicals, and Indian casinos.
Good luck, Al. Trillions? Probably not. But some . . .
