Economics of saving the planet
Alexander Agassiz often said, ” I’m always willing to spend a dollar and a half, if I can see it will bring three dollars in the future.” – Boom Copper, The Story of the First U.S. Mining Boom, by Angus Murdock
Replacing polluting industries with God’s solutions requires the same determination to look 20-30 years into the future.
Agassiz had to deal with complacent C&H directors who could only focus on the $1.50 that would rob them of their dividends. – We are dealing with tyrannical feudalism that occupies every government on the planet, as well as climate-denying industries that are causing 9 million premature deaths per year from pollution.
Man has proven that he is incapable of governing himself. For every $1 spent on air pollution controls since 1970, the nation has reaped $30 in benefits. But the will to go all the way in cleaning up cancer-causing, climate-changing emissions is lacking.
We must wage an all-out war of attrition on those who are destroying the Earth. And that means building & using God’s machines to create life without dependency on centralist utilities, fossil fuels and oxygen-destroying vehicles.
Only God, working through those who make a connection with God through His son Jesus, can govern in righteousness.
