Economic Shift

Within any significant social change resides opportunity. Fighting climate change represents massive opportunities for the creation of new wealth.

The P.R. firms who represent the fossil fuel industry are hired to create political and media talking points to silence anti-fossil fuel ideas for only one reason, to protect the profits of the fossil fuel industry. They spend millions, if not billions each year to protect their profits. They realize that once they lose the narrative, they will lose the battle.

As every year passes, the younger people who are more in tune with the social media landscape see through the disinformation fed to them by the fossil fuel industry and their paid media figures and politicians.

Because of Biden/Harris’s election, there will be a more significant push for a Green Deal. It doesn’t matter if you are a Republican, Democrat, or an Independent; this shift has massive economic opportunities. It’s one thing to have a political ideology, but don’t be so rigid in your beliefs that you sacrifice a golden opportunity to succeed and prosper.

As a business-minded person, what I see moving towards a Greener planet is dollar signs, and if I can create a better world, it’s a win-win. And since the movement is still in its economic infancy, business opportunities are endless.

If you live in a rural area, you have the advantages of low priced land, buildings, and access to people who want good-paying jobs. Most of the Green Deals provide money to get even the most rural areas access to the internet, and the internet would give you a global market for your products.

So instead of sticking to your political talking points, start thinking of ways you can tap into the Green shift and ride the Green wave to prosperity. You know that the fossil fuel industry is hedging its bets and are preparing to shift their operations greener.

Now is the time to drop the ideology and get in on the ground floor.
