I don't know how much more nutty this AGW thing can get..... www.economist.com/news/business/21575771-environmental-lunacy-europe-fuel-future"WHICH source of renewable energy is most important to the European Union? Solar power, perhaps? (Europe has three-quarters of the world’s total installed capacity of solar photovoltaic energy.) Or wind? (Germany trebled its wind-power capacity in the past decade.) The answer is neither. By far the largest so-called renewable fuel used in Europe is wood."

Sig I liked the realistic graphic. But he seems a little to clean to really be green. He must have dropped off his woman somewhere while gathering wood for the fire. That is where Obama would like us all to be.

I know. Not only Obamma but a lot of eco nuts that have no understanding of the actual veracity of the climate models forecasts.
This whole thing is just so damn nuts.

It is robbing poor people to make rich people richer.
And we wonder why the economies of the world are in such bad shape.
Carnegie had it correct in regards to inheritance taxes. 100%. Keep liquidity and new ideas fresh. Do not allow a obligarcy, (spellling) to be established.

It is obvious that the current batch of rich are a long way from the fruit of the tree.

Germany´s and IMF mandates for most PIIGS are not working at all, pushing these economies further into depression. Japanese Yen just joined dollar in its free-fall race... Things can´t be fixed at once and Germany can´t have it all: Euro should join this free-fall race for giving EU a real opportunity for survival as a semi-union... We need euro devaluation urgently. Though Germany is not aware of it, yet.

Plan for Okinawa unveiledWhat a coincidence that as North Korea mad-regime is putting pressure on South Korea and US mil bases in the area, such as OKINAWA, this information is releesed... Could it be an agreed-hidden message to North Korea so they can now get an excuse to say they´ve forced US starting of this plan for withdrawal thanks to their massive movilization? Keep an eye on this area, for it´s really a hot one. Consequences and evolution of the area might affect us all. China is not happy about what N. Korea is doing. As long as the US does not provoke NK, the Chinese will take care of the problem. They do not want N. Koreans refuges, nor do they want a war in that area. It is not good for them economically, and could potentially upset the balance of power within China. Best accurate appreciation. Problem with this mad-regimes is factor X... I mean whenever something unexpected or uncontrolled happens, things go further than planned etc... this mad-regimes are bankrupt and desperate... every time they play this game they receive extra ´humanitarian aid´ etc...for going back to some sort of endless negotiation... chinese themselves might get fed up and put an unexpected end to this horrifying regime crushing its own people... Could that be? Good point Sigur!

Good links -all 3 of them- for taking a more complete outlook on Europe´s situation. Soros -wether one likes the guy or not- is basically right. Euro is a ´different´ currency from its constitution. That original sin of our currency itself explains a lot on what is going on now, and why conservative cut policies are not working, but pushing half Europe down to depression. Links do not say that Germany is sustaining a good employment rate due to low-cost part-time mini-jobs that boosted its number past recent years; up to 7 millions workers are under-employed currently. Links do not say that Germany´s Regional Banks (Landers Bank) alike Spanish Cajas (Bankia) are under heavy suspiction. Merkel won´t let any external independent audit for transparency. She gets away with that for Germany is not asking for help. Links do not say that German and French Banks and European Central Bank and other non-spanish Banks did not care during our happy years on sending higher amounts of euros at low interest rate for feeding our housing Bubble and making lots of profit themselves. This Finantial machinery and investors Got no loses so far in Spain. Loses are been applied for plain people and families. They KNEW. Now a cheaper labour in Spain for restarting the process... Angela Merkel is not acting as a real European Leader once agreed Germany has won this war and perhaps assuming its own past errors, she is just paying attention to elections next september, and the common place saying ´we have been paying the Fiesta for those lazy PIGS,and now the Fiesta is over". That´s honestly very ofensive to us. It´s not fair. Even in happy years, millions of families lived barely above poverty and working very hard. Our welfare system has always been very far from Germanys levels, still is. Germany think as well we can afford shutting down nukes, plus CO2 taxes, subsidizing power companies, rising family´s power bills to unacceptable levels given Depression on course... Who is paying for that? Me (among many other European) They "rich Europe" but above all BANKS (?) should assume a share on Spain´s and other´s countries partial bailout, for they have been responsible for feeding the monster to begin with. We are slaves now. Been caught in the trap.

Question is could Euro and EU wait until september´s Germaný general election takes places? A more than overdue change of policy and leadership is badly needed, figures do not match, previsions for growht etcl fail over and over... yet while more wisdom and Europe is needed we are getting more and more nationalistic, and less and less Europe. Other point: Russia is now rich and getting stronger, and can easily afford its economic expansion and influence to the west, and they are certainly doing so; we are becoming increasingly dependent on energy from the east... Don´t like how the future looks like if we keep on that path.
