RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:LOL........................RE:Add Tidewater next to Canary Your statement in relation to energy and recycling could not be more incorrect:
"In the end, cost rules all."
Here is where you are wrong;
The recycling programs that have been implemented in municipalities world wide, adds cost.
The development of clean energy worldwide, adds cost.
Governments of large economies are enacting legislation mandating the use of clean energy, adds cost.
The implementation of a carbon tax worldwide, adds cost (especially to fossil based carbon energy producers, ie. fossil fuel diesel production).
The use of corn based ethanol in gasolines in North America and other countries, adds cost.
The largest retailer in the world Walmart and the largest online retailer in the world Amazon, use forklifts that are hydrogen powered - adds cost. These two companies are now planning on replacing all of their diesel powered semis with hydrogen power, which adds cost,
The above trends are substantially increasing over time, not decreasing.
Your reasoning in relation to energy and recycling is from the 1970's, your reasoning is 1/2 a century stale.
I'm assuming from your reasoning of "In the end, cost rules all", that you are heavily invested in companies that produce energy at the lowest cost, which are fossil based in relation to diesel ie. Exxon, Chevron etc.
Pension plans are some of the largest investors in the world and most consider investing in fossil based energy.................the equivalent of investing in tobacco companies,
