Easy-earned money - hard-earned money

Most of the costs for transportation and building heat have to be paid with the hardest-earned money: imports can only be paid through foreign exchange assets from exports.

We must increase our exports! is the battle cry of the economic policy-makers. Why? Increasingly expensive energy imports have to be paid for with more exports. Economic scientists failed to developed a scale rating the difficulty with which money was earned. This omission means that in many fields, especially transportation and building heat, we are dependent on imported energy because people were persuaded this was the cheapest option. Wrong profitability calculations leading to the debt crisis, to economic breakdown.

When the oil price rose from US$ 30 to US$ 100, every single US citizen had to export US$1120 more per year to keep the trade balance stable, as every US citizen imports an average of 7 litres of crude oil per day. But of course, many exports consist of imported pre-products. A product is exported for around US$1000, but it includes imported components worth US$500.

Politics - political targets of PEGE

Taxes tax politics
	The consequences of the tax politic for humans and environment. The politicians claim to fight for humans and the environment, but the tax politics shows the exact opposit.

Energy politic
	Decades of wrong energy politic. Instead of more living standard with less energy usage, partial the contrary was reached. A result of the wrong tax politic.

The hunt for the culprit has ended
	Since 1991 PEGE has been trying to lead humanity into the solar age, but has met with hard and completely irrational resistance. Who could be mad enough to be against paradise?

What is science? The example of astronomy
	To understand the meaning of unscientific, we need to look at how a serious science is conducted: it is always developing better methods to measure theory against reality.

Cloud Cuckoo Land
	An ideal world where there is a precise correspondence between theory and reality. The world in which economc science functions perfectly.

Club of Rome - "The Limits to Growth" 1972
	The Dr. Hubbert peak oil theory of 1956 was shown to hold true for the USA in 1973, Club of Rome 1972, how was this incorporated in the economic sciences?

The oil crisis and the economic crisis of 2008
	The crisis occurred 35 years after economic scientists failed to include the increasing scarcity of raw materials and alternative strategies in their calculations.

Follow-up environmental costs
	The way economic scientists deal with follow-up costs for the environment. Trusting in a ''science'' that ignores the requirement of survival.
