I remember in the very early 1970s, when the spotted owl, which inhabited the forests of my state of Washington, took presidence over thousands of people working in the lumber industry. Members of my family lost their businesses and whole towns sunk into poverty never to recover. No matter the excuse whether its an owl, a minnow or the dramatic reduction of CO2, the end result is poverty. The same is true no matter which country is the target.

In the end God will judge and it will be swift and just.

Pricing Farmers Out Pt 1

https://www.aginfo.net/report/60760/Washington-State-Farm-Bureau-Report/Pricing-Farmers-Out-Pt-1

MUZZALL … “But on the first of January this year you could not produce eggs as they had been done traditionally. You had to go to a cage-free facility. Well, that increases the cost of production which now they’re passing on to the consumer.”

Another, Muzzall says is our latest gas tax …

MUZZALL … “The Carbon Commitment Act, we know, cost just shy of .50 cents a gallon for fuel. It wasn’t supposed to impact the natural resources industry. So timber, fishing, agriculture weren’t supposed to see that increased cost, but it did. And the Department of Ecology couldn’t figure out how to make it happen.”

And maybe the biggest burden, Muzzall says is having to pay our ag workers overtime …

A massive copper shortage is on the horizon

There is a problematic scarcity looming for one of the world's key elements , as recent reports indicate that copper is facing a pending shortage. While this may not sound consequential to the average person, experts have expressed significant concerns. Copper is widely "seen as a leading indicator of economic health" because "it is used practically everywhere — in homes and in factories, in electronics and in power generation," said Reuters .

But while the element may be a key part of economic lifelines, by 2030 global copper mines will only meet 80% of the world's copper requirements, according to the International Energy Agency . Copper did recently reach its highest-ever stock price, ballooning above $11,000 on the London Stock Exchange, but this was strictly due to investors piling on "in anticipation of deepening supply shortages," Bloomberg reported. Why is there going to be a shortage of copper, and what will it mean for the global economy?

Why is there a looming copper shortage?

BIDEN'S EV CARS NEED LOTS OF COPPR TO CHARGE.

Part of the reason is a misconception that copper is easy to mine, but experts say this is not correct. The resources to create copper "are not abundant, these things aren't all over the place, you have to go find them," Chris LaFemina, a global metals and mining analyst at the investment bank Jefferies, said to CNBC .

But beyond the difficulty of obtaining it, the shortage itself is likely to occur because "demand for copper is surging," said CNBC TV . This is partially due to copper being an abundantly needed material in new energy sources. CNBC pointed to offshore wind turbines , which require "about three times as much copper as does coal-fired powered generation in terms of tons per gigawatt of capacity." But mining companies are finding it hard to produce the amount of copper that will be needed for these energies.

When it comes to climate change, the world may be identifying the wrong enemy

The American miners he saw working in the dark deep below the surface during his tour have been pushing back on the federal government’s rules and regulations on uranium mining for decades. This 17-acre mine became operational earlier this year .

“No one would think that you could take an elevator shaft 1,400 feet underground, a whole entire Empire State Building worth, to get to what could power Arizona for a year,” Backer said this week. **Uranium is an energy source for nuclear reactors, a technology many consider too risky.** But the young conservative climate change activist pushes back on that thinking, saying if the U.S. doesn’t set up mines, they will pop up in places like Russia or Kazakhstan with lower environmental standards.

Local Food Movement Under Attack by New EPA Rule

A new EPA regulatory rule that will force small meat and poultry producers to invest heavily in new water filtration systems while letting industrial factory farms off the hook is an attack on the local food movement and domestic agriculture, critics say.
