Fuel Options

I'm still wading through Agenda 21. I'm in section 11, Combating Deforestation. It's an interesting section. There are several sections I found interesting, which tie in to how President Obama is treating America right now. You will have to read this, though, with a little background first.

I want you to hold in the forefront of your memory the words of our President. I don't have his exact quote, but remember when he said something to the effect that under his energy plan, energy costs would necessarily sky-rocket. Another thing to keep in mind is that President Obama is going to make sure that an oil disaster like this never happens again. He also made the statement during his campaign, or possibly when he first came into office, that he was going to shut down coal production in the U.S.

Gee, what does that leave for fuel? Natural Gas? I believe there have been several explosions in natural gas plants. Wow, they're not safe, either. And I know of a couple nuclear plants that had close calls recently. Every one knows they're not safe. Can you say 3 Mile Island? So, how are we going to heat our houses RIGHT NOW? What are we going to do?

Agenda 21 to the rescue. they actually promote the use of TREES for FUEL AND ENERGY! Now you would think the tree huggers would be against this, but they are going to use it as a way to redistribute wealth, so the environmentalists will be behind it. Well, maybe the TRUE ecologists won't, but they'll be called nuts. The Agenda 21 people want us in the stone age and using fire places to keep warm because the animals have priority over humans. I have to admit, though, back in high school, I had a boyfriend who had a wood burning stove tied in to his central heating unit. But it supplemented it, and was not the only source of heat.

This is how Agenda 21 lays it out. 11.22(c): "To promote more efficient and sustainable use of forests and trees for fuel wood and energy supplies."

But their plan doesn't stop there. Remember, they've already made plans to jack up oil prices for the developed countries. This was stated in 2.22 (g): "Ensure that special factors affecting environment and trade policies in the developing countries are borne in mind in the application if environmental standards, as well as in the use of any trade measures. It is worth noting that standards that are valid in most advanced countries may be inappropriate and of unwarranted social cost for the developing countries."

Back to section 11: In 11.23(e) "Promoting and supporting the downstream processing of forest products to increase retained value and other benefits." And in 11.20 (C) "Promoting efficient utilization and assessment to recover the full valuation of the goods and services provided by forests, forest lands and woodlands."

So, they want to raise the price of wood, after it becomes the only means of fuel. Every indication I have seen puts President Obama on the Agenda 21 bandwagon. Obama will raise the price of oil because he will eliminate our ability to create our own oil, thus making us dependant on foreign oil and the price they set. He will raise the price of coal beyond the ability of people to afford it. That will affect our choices. I believe in the future, the same thing will happen to natural gas. There will be an increase in disasters in gas companies if we don't get this man out of office, just as there have been on oil rigs. He will be forced to regulate it out of business. If that doesn't happen, we have his own words....energy costs will necessarily sky-rocket. So everyone turns to their fireplace to heat their home. People will go and buy "Franklin Stoves" and put it in their house. that's when they strike to protect the forest and make sure the forest gets replanted. Wood and all products associated with the forest will get "full value." Who determines the full value? And they list what is considered other than fuel wood: 11.23(f) ...(e.g. medicinal plants, dyes, fibres, gums, resins, fodder, cultural products, rattan, bamboo)...

Is there anything that doesn't cover? That covers our medicines, our clothes that are dyed, our clothes that are natural fibres, anything made with glue, animal food, so our farm life, wow, so many things.

Who has the most forest land? I would venture to say it's not going to be developed countries. It won't be Americans buying wood from American forests. I would bet that we'll be forced to send off to South American Rain Forests for our wood. Or maybe they'll develop some genetically engineered tree that grows really fast, plant it on an Indian reservation and "Give them the wealth, give them the wealth!" a la Van Jones!
