Figures. First Eco-Friendly Festival Goes Bust in California – Can’t Sustain Itself

We’re starting to see a pattern here.

The first eco-friendly rally goes bust in California.
It was not self-sustaining.

An eco-friendly festival in California was forced to shut down this weekend due to lack of interest.
The LA Times reported:

It was the first New World Festival of Eco-Friendly Science and Technology and quite possibly the last.

The event near the beach in Santa Monica, which had been scheduled to run through Sunday, was shut down abruptly Saturday afternoon.

Its website had promised robots, a petting zoo, six stages of live music and more than 150 exhibits. But the gathering on Saturday looked more like a medium-sized, eco-friendly farmers market.

Howard Mauskopf, the festival’s organizer, said he needed to shut down because so few people had shown up. “We’re in a position where we don’t have the financial ability to continue,” he said, adding that he would have needed eight to 10 times the crowd that was present to make ends meet. He said he is going to try to reimburse food vendors next week.

“I don’t know why people didn’t come,” he said.

Meta Whirled Peas commented:

He doesn’t know why people won’t come? WTf reality does he live in? When the rolling blackout occur because of the plant shutdowns this winter and beyond, this “green” disaster will get the attention it truly deserves. When people start dying because of the forced green policy initiatives, those who proposed such nonsense will be vilified. Maybe not by the Make Believe Media, but by the alternate news sources. It’ll be a tough lesson, but one that’s necessary in order to formulate a good energy policy going forward. It’s just a shame that many will be made to suffer for the unrealistic political goals of a few power hungry idiots.

Valerie commented:

It’s safe to say that the lack of interest in this festival is not due to lack of concern for the environment, generally.

For example, in San Diego during the recent drought, the state put out a call for conservation, and advertised the need for lower water usage heavily. The overall usage of water dropped by 20% for a year.

Then the water district raised its rates. The drought is over, and the higher rates remain in effect.

The people of this state are good-hearted and co-operative, but they don’t really like getting repaid for their good efforts in this fashion.

RickS commented:

I think the whole “Green” thing probably turned people off. If Mauskopf had billed it as a “Science and Technology” festival, he would have gotten the crowds. It actually looks like it would have been pretty entertaining, with the robots, petting zoo, and live music. Throw in fair food and this could have been a nice little family outing. The prices he was charging were reasonable as well ($12 per adult). I think people saw “Green” and just said, “awe great, another preachy Al Gore hypocrite telling me how to live while not actually practicing what he preaches.” At this point, with the economy so bad, people just don’t give a hoot about going green, particularly with the recent Solyndra scandal and the collapse of the AGW movement. Even in liberal CA, people just don’t have time for “green” anymore.

People are mad and downright sick of what has happen to them and their families.

This is where that stimulus money went and Obama wonders why the country doesn’t want another stimulus package hidden under the fake name of “jobs” bill.

The Liberal Green Bubble

Energy rates continue to climb. Xcel customers have endured a 21 percent rate increase over the last six years with another 20 predicted over the next six, thus reducing consumers’ purchasing power. Continuing the trend of budget shortfall, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities projects Colorado’s 2012 budget shortfall to be $450 million, 6.2 percent of the state’s general fund.

And the jobs? They never materialized. Colorado’s unemployment rate has hovered between 8.3 and 9.3 percent sometimes above and sometimes below the national average. Of course, if we spend millions of dollars on any one sector of the economy, some jobs will be created, but at a cost that diverts capital resources away from other possibly more productive sectors.

According to a 2009 study from Stanford University Energy Modeling Forum, “analysis…concludes that the advantages of increased jobs from renewable energy are vastly over-stated at costs prevailing today. It will require dramatic break-through in costs if renewable energy is to become a job generator.”

The study concludes with this resounding rebuke of “green job” creation policies:

The left (er, now “progressives”) love to scold the rest of us on the topic of “sustainability”, yet not a single Utopian scheme of their is sustainable, at least economically. This reinforces the wisdom of Margret Thatcher who quipped that socialism works until it runs out of other people’s money.

This would be laughable, but we no longer have the prosperity to entertain the foolish, unsustainable left by giving in to their plans, plans that are downright dangerous to our lives, our fortunes and even to our honor. For how honorable is it to give in to them when what they propose gets sillier and sillier the more we learn about it?

For example, the median household income in the US in 2010 was $52,026. At that rate, one Solyndra is the entire annual salary of the number of jobs held by 10,000 households! To climb out of the hole dug for us by the socialists-Keynesian cabal, the private sector must create over 120,000 new jobs a month, or over 12 Solyndras!

And what did the crew in Washington just do? They funded several other Solyndras-in-the-making.

The Pope and Obama are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd.

The Pope leans towards Mr. Obama and said, “Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they’ll forever speak of this day and rejoice!”

Obama replied, “I seriously doubt that! With one little wave of your hand….Show me!”�

So the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage!

There will be virtually no birds as the turbines have killed most ot them, which will mean we will be over run by insects and the EPA won’t let us use a poison on them. Wlth the ground being covered, there will be very little vegetation, which will cause the death of many other animals and they will too go extinct. Then because to the death of small animals, then larger carnivors will soon follow, also extinction.

mini-flashback refresher..

Occupy Wall Street Jumps the Shark

[In a surreal news conference at the United Nations, anti-American radical
and rogue financier George Soros (net worth: $22 billion) threw in his lot
with the thousands of Communists, anarchists, eco-feminists, malingerers,
and professional protesters who have been baiting and taunting police in
lower Manhattan as part of a mass demonstration that began September
17.

The protests, which have spread to other large cities, are part of what
ACORN’s neo-communist founder Wade Rathke calls an “anti-banking
jihad.” Not surprisingly, the remnants of the ACORN network are deeply
involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement. New York ACORN’s new
front group, New York Communities for Change (NYCC), led by veteran
ACORN enforcer Jon Kest, is one of the major protest groups leading the
effort to turn America into one big socialist armpit.]

Only the very rich can afford to throw away loads of extra money to use solar. And Wind is worse than solar. We need gas and oil drilling to create millions of jobs in our own country instead of in Arab emirates. Keep the money and jobs here. Screw the eco-nuts. I want air conditioning. I want electricity for internet and TV. I want cheap power, the more the better. CO2 is not a forcing agent for warming. It has been cooling for the last fifteen years. People who beleive in the hoax of AGW are narcissists who all want to be thanked for saving the world. They want to be called saints for doing essentially nothing because nothing can be done about climate change. It is natural. And if it did get warmer it would probably be good for everyone with more CO2 bigger plants, more food growing regions, and rish times for everyone.

they didn’t go because they don’t love the erf enough and they will pay when Gaia’s army of insane housewives and brainwashed dependent children take over the erf under Algore’s leadership.

Interesting.

You take the failure of an event and try to position it as some kind of ‘victory’ for your way of thinking.

Wow. That’s so unbelievably sophomoric that my head is spinning on my shoulders.

So exactly what are you so threatened by? Is it kind of like those who argued about the world being flat? The fact that life really did begin 2,000 years ago?

Those who are fearful, insecure and emotional tend to insulate themselves with like-minded people in a world filled with hate and anger. It’s pretty obvious why. A good metaphor would be the homophobe getting hand jobs in the rest area toilet.

As long as you know that thinking people just laugh at you I guess that’s all that matters.
