Otherwise, the reward for environmental > protections and unionization is to be put out of business by foreign > manufacturers that face neither. > > Mark > > I know this is "pie in the sky" but the long run attempt to rein in spewing carbon into the atmosphere MUST include cutting down trans-oceanic shipping --- until we can run container ships with solar collectors or giant batteries charged by land-based wind and solar farms --- we need to drastically reduce all international trade in heavy goods -- despite the economics' profession's anathema to "protectionism" it actually has important pro-environmental side effects --- of course as with all dreams of Marxists, "how to get there" has always been the problem ... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
