Green energy like any other form of power generation will require large installations to produce. The land devoted to windfarms, solar energy arrays and biofuel cultivation, not to mention tidal generators will grow as the population increases.
Since “Green” Satanic Mills must ultimately replace the old Satanic Mills with facilities of comparable or even more extensive size the only way to actually reduce the human footprint is to reduce population. This linkage is downplayed but obvious.
Given the overlap of population growth and environmental problems, many would like to see a change in U.S. policy on global family planning. In 2001, President George W. Bush instituted what some call the “global gag rule,” whereby foreign organizations that provide or endorse abortions were denied U.S. funding support.
Global population and the environment
Environmentalists considered that stance to be shortsighted because support for family planning is the most effective way to check population growth and relieve pressure on the planet’s environment, and as a result, the global gag rule was rescinded in 2009 by President Obama but put back in place by Donald Trump in 2017.
The Scientific American explored the conflict between the Green Agenda and Open Borders.
What to do about booming legal and illegal immigration rates is one of the most controversial topics on Americans’ political agenda these days. More than a million immigrants achieve permanent resident status in the U.S. every year. Another 700,000 become full-fledged American citizens. The non-profit Pew Research Center reports that 82 percent of U.S. population growth is attributable to immigration.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that U.S. population will grow from 303 million people today to 400 million as early as 2040. While many industrialized nations, including Japan and most of Western Europe, are experiencing population growth slowdowns due to below replacement birth levels and little immigration, the U.S. is growing so fast that it trails only India and China in total numbers.
Recently this conflict came to a head in of all places, San Francisco, where the affluent Woke opposed the tides of homeless on the grounds they were bad for the environment.
One of the big challenges to the Green Vision is that the technology it relies on is immature. A WW2 style effort to build massive installations of current Green tech will cover the earth in obsolete junk.
