Yes indeed I think he is worried and for good reason. Capitalism is unable to cope with the environmental challenges and diminishing resources that the world is facing and will get worse very quickly. As the water supply diminishes and becomes more polluted he wants to be sure that you cant tell him to stop fracking to the detriment of the rest of us. He wants to be sure that he can still open up more Fukashimas without you saying he cant even if he fills the oceans with nuclear waste. He wants to make sure that the wealth of those generating this absurd propaganda is protected even while the rest of us go hungry because of diminishing water and food supplies due to an unruly market place whose only moral compass is "me" "me"" "me" "me"" me" "me". Capitalism is destroying our planet, its destroying our communities, our families our humanity. its making us one dimensional as if the only thing we human beings are about is buying and selling and money. Indeed Ahovking is so fanatic that our morals are really just about buying and selling, thats all we are, buying and selling automatons. And the fanaticism has reached fever pitch and I think it is indeed because they're scared that their greedy selfish ways are numbered and scared they should be because the world cant afford them any more.
First Google 'sentence' and try using them
second, Your failing once again to understand capitalism,
Capitalism is the system of
individual rights. It is the greatest protector of man’s environment’ (as opposed to the protection of the environment at the expense of man’s well-being).
Under capitalism all property is privately owned. If you pollute your own property that is your business (but in doing so you reduce the property value which would not be in your self-interest). However, the minute your pollution spreads to another person’s property, and causes objectively provable damage, the owners of that property can sue you as a matter of right.
The right to property is not the privilege to damage or pollute the property of others. Witness that the privately owned locks and streams of Scotland are far cleaner than the government owned cesspools of socialist India.
As for the disposing of the pollution of factories, this is a technological solution — and capitalism, as the system of technological progress, is the only system that can provide such a solution,
The future, Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution:
The Four Principles of Natural Capitalism
1. RADICALLY INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Through fundamental changes in both production design and technology, farsighted companies are developing ways to make natural resources — energy, minerals, water, forests — stretch five, ten, even 100 times further than they do today. The resulting savings in operational costs, capital investment, and time can help natural capitalists implement the other three principles.
2. SHIFT TO BIOLOGICALLY INSPIRED PRODUCTION MODELS AND MATERIALS
Natural capitalism seeks not merely to reduce waste but to eliminate the very concept of waste. In closed-loop production systems, modeled on nature's designs, every output either is returned harmlessly to the ecosystem as a nutrient, like compost, or becomes an input for another manufacturing process. Industrial processes that emulate the benign chemistry of nature reduce dependence on nonrenewable inputs, make possible often phenomenally more efficient production, and can result in elegantly simple products that rival anything man-made.
3. MOVE TO A "SERVICE-AND-FLOW" BUSINESS MODEL
The business model of traditional manufacturing rests on the sale of goods. In the new model, value is instead delivered as a continuous flow of services—such as providing illumination rather than selling light bulbs. This aligns the interests of providers and customers in ways that reward them for resource productivity.
4. REINVEST IN NATURAL CAPITAL
Capital begets more capital; a company that depletes its own capital is eroding the basis of its future prosperity. Pressures on business to restore, sustain, and expand natural capital are mounting as human needs expand, the costs of deteriorating ecosystems rise, and the environmental awareness of consumers increases. Fortunately, these pressures all create business opportunity
What garbage. All assertion and no facts. Simple stupid baseless statements totally contrary to what we have all seen played out in out life times. Go sue Tepco for Fukushima and tell me how that fixes the environmental damage they have done. Externalities mate. Pass on our filth for everyone else to deal with while we count our money.
