^ You have to admit there's money in it.

I think the 'greens' have turned their "green philosophy" into a veritable business model

If the people buy it... it's economy. Or capitalism, if you so want.
As long as people pay for your product, the price can and will be raised. Self-evident for every company. But when an elected government does it to finance schools and infrastructure, it is "overregulation" or "dictatorship".

A lot of 'greens" have become modern ecofascists, right.
That does not alter facts of a changing climate though.

Did people protest when seat belts became mandatory? Or a second rear view mirror? So expensive. "I can't pay my electricity bill because of that"? Did that stop companies from building and selling it? Or did they make it cheaper? Catalyst converters?
Do we even need so much cars? A 400 hp SUV for every Mom to drive her spoilt brat to the Kindergarten? Why are goods transported via 40-ton-trucks on streets and motorways instead of using the rail system for the heavy stuff? Automobile lobbies anyone?
So much questions.

Apart from that i tend to think that fuel is still much too cheap, if people use it for leaf blowers
