I didn't suggest that the UN were conspiratorially jacking up power prices, it may well be side effect but it isn't their base objective. Plainly what they are doing is attempting to equalise the economies, suppress those of the 1st Work Countries whilst allowing the 2nd and 3rd World Countries to continue their growth unabated. If their concern was truly climate change abatement then they would be demanding (enticing, persuading, bullying, coercing, whatever you want to call it) all economies to reduce their emissions by the same %. To selectively do otherwise, as they are, is nothing more than social engineering, a basic socialist manifesto.
Anyone truly concerned about climate change would be demanding that all countries reduce their emissions by 25%, 40%, 50% or even 100%, no exceptions. Selectively choosing who is allowed to increase their's by 25%, 40%, 50% or even 100% whilst at the exact same time requiring others to reduce their's has only one true objective, changing the economic landscape.
The unaffordable electricity problems locally are direct and indirect results of subsidies paid to prop up unreliable electricity generation, but that's a whole new, very large, can of worms, best left for another thread derailment. Go Dogs
