It seems to me that the government of all countries United against alternative energy sources. This is because a very large income to the Treasury brings energy taxes. I guess the government doesn't know what to replace these revenues.
The leaders don't know the adverse effects of what we have now, especially the oil and mining community. If it isn't regulated the way it should be or following strict regulation and compliance to the rules, it should be stopped. It's not just that, it should be to help the environment, that's why it's so sad that the government wants those kinds still.
Why do you think that government leaders do not know about environmental problems? Do you think they are stupid? Believe me they know the issue better than you. Just as they are responsible for public finances. Yes they can save the environment, but it will have nothing to pay pension. How do you think they will choose?
