Is President Moon’s “Green New Deal” Really Green?
I like how investing in tech has some how become “green”:
He said it is important to protect jobs and the entire industrial ecosystem with a can-do spirit.
Korea Times
The president reaffirmed a swift push for the Korean version of the New Deal, which has a focus on the fields of digital and green projects.
He said the government is stepping up efforts to support skilled manpower in new industries, including artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, drones, bio-health, smart ships and future vehicles.
The government will help them participate in joint research programs with global universities, research institutes and entrepreneurs, he added.
You can read more at the link, but there is nothing “green” about tech when considering how rare earth minerals are extracted.
Additionally, the branding of “Green New Deal” seems intended to get the international liberal media to back it than any concern about the environment. If the international media starts giving it glowing media coverage that will likely lead to positive domestic opinion as well.
combining two disastrous ideas..brilliant. Commie moon is just a dumb sock puppet for Red China
Green with all the greenbacks that will be paid to Fatty.
Everyone who pays attention knows the so-called “Green” deals are all about graft and governments seizing control of private property.
If the energy initiatives they pushed were viable, the market would already have gone there.
It’s ludicrous to even give these moochers and looters the time of day.
