Even U.N. Admits That Going Green Will Cost $76 Trillion and UN Control of World Economy

Two years ago, U.N. researchers were claiming that it would cost “as much as $600 billion a year over the next decade” to go green. Now, a new U.N. report has more than tripled that number to $1.9 trillion per year for 40 years.

It’s all part of a “technological overhaul” “on the scale of the first industrial revolution” called for in the annual report. Except that the U.N. will apparently control this next industrial revolution.

 

The new 251-page report with the benign sounding name of the “World Economic and Social Survey 2011” is rife with goodies calling for “a radically new economic strategy” and “global governance.”

SIERRA CLUB CONTINUES TO PUSH JOB KILLING AGENDA

TO THE EDITOR,

Jobs … that’s what is important today.

Our nation is struggling 14 million people out of work, homes and cars being repossessed and children going hungry.  Yet for some folks it seems their narrow political agenda has to come before any consideration for its impact on people.

The West Virginia Sierra Club seems so intent on imposing its “green” agenda on our people that they are willing to bankrupt our people and our state to do so.

A recent story by AP’s Vicki Smith is an example in point …
