1. There's no oil bank or nuclear commodity in Spain worth mentioning either in quantity or quality. But there is plenty of sun, wind and hydroelectric resources all year round. If you look on the reverse of your electric bill, you can clearly see that non-fossil fuels already account for the majority of the power generated and consumed in the country.
A swift migration to a 'clean energy only' model is not only feasible but wise.
2. Over the last decade, an obscene amount of structural funds coming from hard earned Spanish and European (mainly German) tax payer money has been invested in renewable energies across the Iberian Peninsula. Despite of funds being poorly administered and mishandled,
Spain ranks within the top five investors in the world on clean energies.
3. With the recent change in government comes the unhealthy Spanish habit of undoing the little good done by predecessors. Catering to the interests of Big Oil, which is supported by oil producing, non-democratic, terrorist states,
the new Spanish regime is reversing progress. While leading economies such as Germany, the U.S. or China are heavily promoting clean energies as a viable path for energy sustainability and independence, the prevailing pigsty mentality of the Spanish political class allows the dismantling and sale of solar & wind power facilities while the electric bill continues to rise.
4.
Spain has one of the most expensive energy rates of the E.U. which is crippling even further the weak finances of individuals, families, private companies and public administrations. Ah! the Spanish public administration...that bastard child of socialist models for manipulation, propaganda and population control... Always more in sync with late 19th. century entelechies than with the facts of a globalized reality.
THE QUESTION REMAINS THE SAME: ARE SPANIARDS TOO LIMITED TO SEE THAT ENERGY SUSTAINABILITY IS UNQUESTIONABLY TIED TO RENEWABLES? IS IT TOO LATE TO STOP THIS NATION, WITH OTHERWISE LOTS OF POTENTIAL, FROM BECOMING A THEME PARK FOR THE WRONG KIND OF INVESTORS?
5. Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Nuclear, Big Bio-Tech & Big Geo-Engineering (read Monsanto) have not wasted a second to meet with, and dictate their mandates to the "Ray of Joy" government, thus
sealing the obscure fate of generations to come while fulfilling their own agendas.
WHY CAN'T A POLITICAL PARTY IN THIS COUNTRY TRULY AND COMPREHENSIVELY REPRESENT WHAT'S BEST FOR THE NATION INSTEAD OF BEING THE PUPPET OF FOREIGN INTERESTS OR ATTENDING TO MORONIC AND ARCHAIC PARTY DISCIPLINES? DIDN'T SPANIARDS HAVE ENOUGH 'FREE LUNCHES' ALREADY? DO THEY HAVE WHAT THEY DESERVE?
In light of these facts, there's no other choice but to get organized into what I call
PEOPLE:
P.E.O.P.L.E: PARTIDO ECOLOGISTA OBRERO PROGRESISTA LIBERTARIO ESPAÑOL
ECOLOGISTA (Environmentalist): Because only a fool would deny the obvious destruction of natural resources not only in Spain but all over the world. Anyone with a conscience, with children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, would seek a brighter future for upcoming generations, just like our parents did for us.
OBRERO (Working Class oriented): Because it's about time for the rights and obligations of the Spanish working class to be stipulated by agile, comprehensive and modern labor laws administered by a renewed justice system, instead of by the 'fat', self-serving and rich gang of cronies from the so called Spanish 'unions'. Time is of the essence when bringing Spanish Management to the 21st. century, rewarding performance and merit instead of minimum effort and short term larceny.
PROGRESISTA (Liberal):
Because liberalism as well as environmentalism ARE NOT brand names of the Left (says who?, the proof is in the pudding!) and certainly shouldn't be linked to any of the current main political streams in Spain. Modern liberalism is a state of mind in which we take the best of an inevitable social and economic progression, and cope with the worst with intelligence, on individual basis.
LIBERTARIO (Neo-Libertarian): 'Cut the middle person' and reduce the government, and therefore taxes, to the minimal expression. Since governments around the world have been incapable of effectively managing the demands of a global market or coping with change; big governments, little flags, secondary languages, religions, political parties or borders, are barriers of the past. Politicians should get 'out of the way', they should be prevented by law from scavenging on tax payer's money. Elected leaders should focus on three major areas: EDUCATION ( to ensure that future generations are much more qualified than they ever were), HOMELAND SECURITY AND DEFENSE (so that no one is above the law), AND A PROFESSIONALIZED, SUSTAINABLE AND PUBLIC HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
ESPAÑOL: To promote and defend our true national and regional values and hallmarks through modern immigration policies in which a nation chooses its immigration mix and not the other way around. Graphically explained: "Once upon a time
José Luis met Angela and with the notes of love, love, love, flower power resonating in the background, he explained to her (but obviously not in English or German) his grandiloquent Alliance of Civilizations, a product of his unparalleled I.Q., vast international experience and infinite wisdom. To what Angela responded: 'I am blown away by your clairvoyance José! We will gladly take your best prepared doctors, nurses, researchers, teachers and professionals in general, and you may in turn keep our quota for under qualified, quasi- illiterate, religiously radical, outlawed migratory flows."
