Amory Lovins' company recalls more lead impregnated toys.

[NNadir]

One of the wonderful companies that pays Amory Lovins, asshole, $20,000/day to say they are "green," is, of course, Walmart.

Walmart, besides treating workers who are not Amory Lovins, like the plastic garbage they import, is wholly and totally dependent on the car culture, about which Amory Lovins and his fellow consumerist brats couldn't care less.

Even though they could probably pay Amory a few extra bucks to announce that lead is "safe" and "negawatty," Walmart - which depends wholly on importing plastic garbage made with filthy coal in China and then transported in dangerous fossil fuel freighters across the Pacific Ocean has decided to recall the poisonous toys.

But I don't want to bash a "green" company like Walmart. Here is the "green" stamp of approval, direct from Amory Lovin's whitewash, I mean greenwash, I mean bald faced paid off bribery machine, factory:

Lovins, and his whole gaggle of whiny equally illiterate and paid off supporters, is completely full of shit. And if you don't believe that, I have a hydrogen hypercar I'd like to sell you.

On another website, I will be calculating from data on store visits, average mileage driven, and the gas mileage of the average American car how much dangerous fossil fuel waste is dumped into the atmosphere by replacing neighbor walkable shops by Walmart slave labor pits.

1. Admit it. The TRUE reason you hate Lovins (and ALL environmentalists)

is that they don't lovingly embrace "harmless, safe, fabulously perfect" nuclear power.

Time to be up front about whatever financial interest you have in the nuclear industry, because it's plain as the nose on your face that you DO have a financial interest in it.

Sincerely,
kestrel - your favorite "illiterate" environmentalist

P.S. Don't forget to call me more names and spew plenty of spittle and foam when you reply to me.

2. Amory Lovins consults for Walmart--it is not his company.

He is currently working with them to halve the amount of fuel their trucks use. You know fuel--that dangerous, filthy carbon impregnated stuff.

This is going to put a lot of bottom line pressure on other large corps using truck fleets in the same way that Henry Ford's use of the assembly line insured every other large manufacturer had to adapt it--it also vastly cut the cost of consumer goods for consumers. This is also going to put pressure on manufacturers of truck fleets to have better overall mileage standards.

Amory Lovins is working with Walmart to put daylighting in their stores, that might of course cut the demand for more dangerous, ugly fossil fuels. Walmart's adaption of solar panels on a large scale is also going to help in decreasing the cost of solar per unit.


I don't love Walmart in the least, but a lot of their cheap products are poor people's necessities.

You have to work with the institutions you have, not the ones you wish you had. (to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld)
