The Barnyard Weed Warriors is a goat rental business that utilizes goats to control weeds, brush, invasive trees and wildfire prevention. It is about a s green a business as you can find since it takes the place of mechanical and chemical ways of controlling weeds, brush, invasive trees and is vital in preventing and lowering wildfire damage. It is a green as you can get, except we have to transport the goats to and from job sites with a gas pickup. We have to have the power to get the animals to the site but Joe Biden’s transportation Secretary has ideas that my shut my business down.
Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg is proposing taxation by the mile for those who own vehicles. In addition, he is proposing an increase in the gas tax. All this is to help implement the New Green Deal. We have already seen and felt the negative effects of renewable energy during this most recent artic blast that had most of the 48 states in the deep freeze. Wind towers froze up, solar panels were covered in snow and everyone realized that fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and propane is what saved our butts.
While I am all for using renewable energy (that is a weird term), until science can figure out how to keep wind towers from freezing and solar panels from getting snowed over and keeping them working on cloudy days, I think that we still need to utilize what is known to work and that is fossil fuels. Think about all the businesses that use travel to get their businesses done, the travel bus industry, FedEx, UPS, USPS, trucking companies, taxi services, and the like. If their costs go up, who ends up paying for those increases? The everyday Joe who uses those services. I have already increased my daily rates for the grazing season. If prices keep going up, there will be another increase. Welcome to inflation people.
PS. I wonder where all those who voted for Biden are? They sure are awful quiet. Guess they enjoyed the cheap fuel prices and low inflation with Trump but they are damned if they speak out against Biden now. Well Biden and his ilk can kiss my ass and the asses of the every day people who barely make ends meet. When we boil over, the left better be ready to suck eggs.
