Renewable Tuesday: Got 'em by the Short Numbers [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

The Fossil Fools are still trying to gaslight us, lying that we can’t AFFORD cheaper and cleaner energy, saving Real MoneyTM, real lives, and the only available real planet. But we have them by the short numbers—many trillions of dollars short.

Big Renewable Energy Spending, Big Benefits for These ETFs

A recently published study by Dartmouth College indicates that from 1992 to 2013, global GDP was sapped to the tune of $16 trillion due to extreme temperatures. It’s just one example, but it paints a picture as to why the renewable energy investment theme has long-term legs. For investors, the runway for renewable energy investing is expansive. So are the choices, but stock-picking in this arena is difficult. That underscores the benefits of exchange traded funds, of which there are plenty providing access to clean technology and green energy equities. Renewable energy ETFs [exchange-traded funds] could be the ideal avenues for advisors and investors looking to tap themes such as increased clean energy adoption and increases in government spending [investment] . Data confirm both catalysts are afoot and growing.

These are the kind of numbers that our self-proclaimed opponents claim to live by. Every time they try to own the Libs on this—the scientists, politicians actually concerned about human welfare, and all the rest of us—they end up pwning themselves, both by killing people and species, and by refusing to make money or earn votes. In response, we get to point and laugh. Thus.

The Hill opinion: EPA is ignoring the glaring problem with dirty electric vehicles

For the trillions of dollars Global Boiling [sic, per the UN] is costing the world today, we could have solved this problem decades ago. We can’t go back and fix that, but we can go long on renewables today, every one of us—politically, financially, technologically—at home, locally, nationally, globally.

Do you have an electric car yet? Are you thinking about it? What about a heat pump for heating and cooling your house, and heating water? Or maybe you would like to start small, with a one-”burner” induction cooker. Let us know where you are on all of that.

Have you talked to your town or county officials and parties about electric ambulances, cop cars, fire trucks, school buses...and solar panels on roofs and over parking lots, and energy storage and all of that? Even in the Reddest areas, you can ask them about saving taxpayer money.
