And Germany is one of the leading countries in exporting "green" technologies and many jobs have been created that way.
you people keep telling that things will not work that have been proven to work since decades, you're just to arrogant to accept that someone is doing it better.
ah, and before i forget: your biggest problem BY FAR are the armies of lobbyists that are paid to keep things in the shitter where they are  |
bam! hammer to the nail! THAT is 100% my thots bout US ignorants (focus on RANTS, lol) ... they will know when everyone is doing better then them and then they start a war to catch up or bring others down
its the problem of a country considering itself "above" ... germany did last century but we LEARNED instead of insisting on "what is good today will be good anytime" ... why do US folks think "green" is bad? (mind you, what color is a dollar?) ... because some idiots spill "information" it will kill jobs - whereas the OPPOSITE is the truth! inventing new technology to keep the environment clean CREATES jobs! and hey, you want yer kids to be in need for a gas mask when going out? hmm? what are ya going to tell them when they ask "why didnt ya do anything?" ... and yeah, lobbyism is a BIG US problem ... buggers dont even label their GE milk ... holy smoke - more ignorance can only be found looking at FUNDEMENTALISTS!
edit ... MaDalton - are you EU or DE?
