Show #115 of Creating Wealth featured Jason’s interview with Steven Milloy, author of the new book, Green Hell. The book is an expose’ of today’s environmental movement and how it’s bad for your life, bad for your health, and especially bad for your freedom. Why are we even using valuable pixels bringing up this subject on the Empowered Investor Network website?
The answer is this – if it’s bad for your freedom, you can guarantee it’s going to be bad for your investments at some point. The “greens”, as Milloy calls them, are obsessed with allowing government to creep into every area of your life.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned as residents of planet Earth it’s that the more interaction you have with government, the lighter your wallet will be. Consider, the government decides utility companies need to get with the program and start using wind farms to generate part of their electricity. Of course, they’ll have to buy those turbines from General Electric, who has signed a sweetheart deal with the feds to control that market.
They’ve got you coming and going with that one. You’re forced to use what might prove, especially in the beginning, to be a more expensive source of energy while, at the same time, the government is using your tax dollars to create a GE wind turbine monopoly.
Next up: Al Gore, the environmental businessman.
