Zero is circular too
Re: "Apec business chiefs back SMEs," (BP, Sept 11).
While I mean no offence to Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow as much of Europe stares in awe at 12-month energy price increases of several hundred per cent (and soon maybe even 1,000%) which are decimating Europe due to Greta Thunberg-worshipping politicians pretending for years that their "green" new energy actually worked; all the while hiding their "green" lies by quietly buying Russian energy to make up for the massive shortfall as well as dumping the environmental damage on someone else's backdoor, I find the liberal, wishful ideas Supattanapong Punmeechaow is handing out from an ivory tower difficult to take seriously.
We saw what became of Sri Lanka.
Now, only months later, because so much traditional power was wiped out by lunatic leftist politicians who pandered to climate activists, up to 70% of all British pubs are looking at closing this winter.
In much of Western Europe, many citizens will be forced (like in the winter of 1945) to choose between heating the house or cooking food, and should Nordstream 1 remain shut, the resulting financial drain will be so high that protests of tens of thousands of people such as in Prague may even give way to something far worse as there will be little heat, less food and a huge escalation in poverty this winter.
And so, it seems Apec's solution to the now exposed "Green New Scam" is simply more of the same, and to arbitrarily promote women, rather than promote exclusively based on talent?
Well, this is mainly how much of the world got in this mess (not Covid).
I hardly see "Green Power" riding in for our rescue.
In fact, it looks to me almost as though Apec and the global elites might want us to stay poor because what I read in this Thunberg fantasy plan is a great way to sustain the current "zero" global economy.
As the number "zero" is also quite circular, I won't be surprised if the world finds the bio-circular green model to end in the exact same circle as much of the world already has -- zero.
