Make “Big Oil” pay?
VPIRG (Vermont Public Interest Research Group) wants a “super fund” to pay for climate change, and they are demanding Big Oil cleanup the mess that society and big business has created. They have started to promote and implement this by using photos of our youth and misguided politicians. They want this Super Fund to fund the U.N. backed changes to: EV’s, solar farms, wind towers, heat pumps etc., none of which will significantly change carbon emissions. Everything runs on oil products – right or wrong – and no one can change the whole world.
This super fund will be used for:
– Rebuilding the infrastructure – the electric grid.
– “To make climate change more affordable.” How?
– “To protect farms and forests.” How?
The facts are: The U.N. in the 1960’s told us we would run out of oil in 10 years.
The U.N. in the 1970’s told us there would be another ice age in 10 yrs.
The U.N. in the 1980’s told us acid rain would destroy crops in 10 yrs.
The U.N. in the 1990’s told us the ozone layer would be gone in 10 yrs.
The U.N. in 2000 told us we would have Y2K – world chaos.
The U.N. in 2002 told us the ice caps would be gone in 10 years.
None of these things ever happened!
Now the U.N. says climate change must be addressed by 2030, the main thrust of the “Agenda 2030,” all part of the Division of Sustainable Development and Department of Economic and Social Affairs, which was never legislated, but adopted and has failed. This can all be searched online for public knowledge. This is currently being implemented in Vermont and worldwide.
A bright spot in this week’s legislation is H.779 – from Rep. Williams from Granby. It will protect a fetus under the homicide law.
The Legislature also may consider:
H.634 – An act relating to school closures, designated to public schools and no School Choice.
H.820 – Change independent schools to public schools. (?)
H.828 -To impose a surcharge on taxpayers with high adjusted gross income.
H.776 – Green Mountain Care Board…(a failure) Health care reform cannot be afforded.
H.777 – Collecting and disclosing medical and health information history. Limiting live births (how do they plan to do that?)
H.790 – Radon Testing. This failed in Pennsylvania years ago!
H.791 – Affordable Housing Impact Fee…. ( ?!)
H.802 – Requires every city, town or village to adopt a Local Options Tax on sales, meals, rooms and alcohol.
H.787 – Creates an excise tax on firearms and ammunition.
H.582 – Prohibits semi-automatic (“assault”) weapons. Democrats never learn. The more gun control, the more guns sold!
You can check the status of these bills at the Vermont Legislature’s website.
Vermont has become unaffordable, unreasonable, and buried in its own doing. My father always told me to pull out the weeds and let grow what is good. Vote the left out…before we are left with nowhere to go.
What is the void in the Vermont Legislature? No voice of “We the People.” It has been replaced by the U.N.’s Agenda directives.
