The European Green Deal: Radical change for a gas- and carbon-free Europe
The Green Deal has just been signed. The aim is to create a Europe free of gas and carbon emissions, using renewable energies. We want to gradually move away from oil and polluting energies. The Green Deal aims to achieve the lowest possible level of gas emissions by 2050 through a radical change that will involve a complete upheaval in Europeans’ lifestyles.
Towards an eco-responsible Europe
The Green Deal is already underway, with programs and initiatives to be launched as early as 2030. Companies will be obliged to limit their gas emissions, and this will also apply to individuals. Each person will have a gas emissions account, because every human being is considered to be an emitter of greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming and natural disasters. This measure will be introduced to encourage people to adopt more environmentally-friendly lifestyles, such as the use of renewable energies like solar or wind power.
Large companies, particularly those in the food and automotive sectors, will have to pay sums proportional to their gas emissions. In this way, each company will have an emissions account, and if they wish to emit more gas, they will have to pay a corresponding amount. This rule will also apply to individuals, so everyone will have their own gas emissions account.

The government acquires land and monopolizes production
The Dutch government, for example, began buying up farmland, prompting many farmers to sell their holdings. These strict measures have forced farmers to stop using certain chemicals to maximize food production. Many were forced to sell their land or went bankrupt, allowing the government to take control of food production in the country. Unfortunately, the people’s incessant protests were not successful.
At the same time, there are projects to promote alternatives to meat consumption, such as insect farming or laboratory meat. This is because livestock farmers have been accused of emitting large quantities of gas as a result of excessive meat production. Some insect farms have been set up in Germany and the Netherlands, and laboratory-produced meat, also known as “clean meat”, is currently being developed. These projects are backed by investors, some of whom collaborate with the government to monopolize food production.
However, these measures raise concerns about the concentration of power and control exercised by the government. Farmers who have had to sell their land now find themselves dependent on the government or large corporations. In addition, the introduction of the CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) will make it possible to track people’s purchases, particularly of food, in order to control their consumption in relation to their gas emissions.
Let’s be critical and aware of what’s at stake
It’s important to remain critical in the face of these changes, and to consider all the implications. We mustn’t be blinded by progressive rhetoric and ask ourselves the right questions. Once again, not every innovation is an improvement. We’re not ready to give up our energy sources like oil, which have contributed to Europe’s development, in favor of the green energies we’re being offered today. The world can only move forward within the limits we impose on it. The goal here is to monopolize power, so we have to be careful!
