Industry bosses demand EU action on soaring energy prices

By Benjamin Fox 28.02.14
EU leaders must address rising energy prices and climate policies which are crippling the bloc's manufacturing sector, according to a manifesto signed by more than 100 industry bosses. 4 million EU manufacturing jobs have been lost in the past five years (Photo: arbyreed)  One hundred and thirty seven chief executives, including the heads of Tata Steel, Arcelor Mittal, and Rio Tinto, signed up to a paper published by the International Federation of Industrial Energy Consumers (IFIEC) Europe on Thursday (27 February).
"EU economic recovery and reversing trends in employment will not happen without industry," the paper states.  EU leaders will gather in Brussels on 21 and 22 March for a summit focused on the EU's industrial competitiveness and how to reinvigorate the bloc's rapidly eroding manufacturing base. The EU's manufacturing sector has been in steady decline for the past 20 years and now accounts for just 15 percent of economic output.

My Take - Years ago I said these arrogant EU elites, who were looking down their self-righteous eco-noses at us, were doing the United States - and any other country that realized the Kyoto was a load of claptrap - a gigantic favor. Why? Because they were going to destroy their industrial base. It would be almost like post WWII when we were the only industrial base left in the world. I'm just sorry more countries didn't sign on.

Now the worm has turned and these arrogant elitists have attained a degree of eco-wisdom. And what is the beginning of this wisdom? The cost of energy and the consequences of their arrogant stupidity.

Here is the issue in a nut shell. Environmentalism is a modern form of pagan nature worship called pantheism, i.e., God is in everything and any disruption of 'God' via mining, drilling, logging, dam building, etc. is a sin. Pantheism is anathema to human progress and the sooner we realize that the sooner humanity can dump all this eco-insanity.
