So far this year, they have lost 5-10 Billion dollars in Livestock and Crop Losses due to Global Warming climate change. The Government will have to pick up those losses, which comes right back to the taxpayers. Think again, there is nothing for free, not even pollution. Polluters should be stuck with those costs, not taxpayers, now that is what makes a market.

No problem…

After duh Goog investment Dudes exposure in PV (or Bloomboxes) reaches a certain percentage of their balance sheet, and if the housing market continues to decline, pulling the value of the PV assets with them, people will short their stock and watch it crash.

And that is what makes a market!
