No green technology exists without massive subsidies. Its all a house of

It's cheaper to pump oil out of the ground than to recycle plastics, etc.
But there are hidden costs involved in the pumping, such as the costs of
waste disposal and the long term effects on the environment for future
generations. I think that our generation will be viewed as incredibly
wastrel litter louts.

Pious twaddle.

You mean as in the same way that we view with contempt generations in
the 17th and 8th centuries who cut down the forests of southern England
to provide wood to build ships with? Those *arseholes* !! Why didn't
they think of the future and leave those primeval forests alone for
*us* to enjoy?

That could easily be fixed. apart from the population rise.
And would self-fix if left alone for fifty years.
Unlike nuclear waste.
And atmoshperic pollution.
