Buy more, new, more eco

Post by jtbo » 18 Jun 2011 12:03 pm

Most of areas in this country voted no for greenies, but southern part voted yes for party that is more green than greenies sometimes, now new 4 year program is published and plan is to reduce road usage and amount of old cars, in name of fighting climate change, in fact plan is to make this county worlds number one country fighting against climate change, which has very little sense in scientific way.

So people are encouraged to get these new cars like Prius, which is much worse to environment that a Hummer:

Yet alone it drinks more fuel on track than normal comparable car, but of course going to track days will be difficult in future as greenies are against it.

One party that did won most votes did not even get to decide these things, but greenies that lost huge amount of votes got, that is Finnish democracy for you.

So in coming years roads will get worse, driving costs will increase lot more than 10%, more like 20% and millions are thrown out of window as recent study did show how climate money had spent to nothingness.

But get new more eco everything is message from party that is very favorable for companies and very much greenier that greenies themself, environment is used like cheap rag and decisions make sure everything looks nice but is crap underneath the surface.
