    "Greenies get discounts indeed"

    In the bio-markets "Greenies" are getting 4% down 5 million dollar interest free loans to build energy plants that burn up forests and feedstock crops to make "green fuels" that produce more carbon emissions (?)

    Further, the purchasing and developing this land gets them "carbon credits".

    Oh yeah... not to mention the Billions in AG and fuel subsides they get.


    "GREEN" was about helping the environment... now GREEN has become a commodity as much as the markets it drives.

    WOW - LET's ALL go GREEN$$$ ;-)

    I am with you Chris.

    Green has turned into nothing more than another form of Corporate Welfare.
