Chapter 8 Chapter 07: The Low-Carbon Dollar War: The U.S. Hijacks the Global Economy’s Carbon Plan
How does consumption drive the economy?How to recover the economy as soon as possible has become a difficult problem plaguing the world.
Let me tell you clearly that China is a country with small savings, you know that?Our savings are unimaginably low.
The biggest change is brewing in the calm, and the "petrodollar" may come to an end.
Therefore, this "low-carbon dollar" will replace the "petroleum dollar" and become the second carriage of the US economic development.
The US "carbon plan" is exposed, and you have to pay taxes on your breath.
So everyone, in your future, after you breathe, you will be charged for the carbon dioxide you emit.In the future, Zhou Xun and Jay Chou will pay for carbon emissions when they hold concerts, and in a few decades, each of us will have to pay Americans. Why?
New energy is now the most important project in the world. Let’s talk about new energy today, but not in general terms. I want to talk about a new concept that readers may not have heard of, that is, what are Americans thinking? .70% to 80% of the U.S. PIGDP is created by consumption, but their consumption is called advanced consumption with borrowed money, that is, bubble consumption.The impact of the financial tsunami caused the consumption bubble of Americans to burst, so the problem in the United States is how to stimulate consumption.So Obama came up with a trick to stimulate the US economy.
As of July 2009, the sales volume of old houses in the United States has increased for 4 consecutive months, and the increase in July was the highest in 10 years. On August 21, the New York stock market rose strongly, and the three major stock indexes hit new highs in 2009. Commodity prices also rose one after another. The price of international crude oil futures in the New York market once exceeded $74 per barrel.Buffett published a signed article in the "New York Times", pointing out that the US economy has now left the "emergency room".However, as Buffett also said, the most pressing issue facing the United States is how to revive the economy and restore prosperity.As the epicenter of the global financial tsunami, the US economy after bottoming out obviously needs a powerful means of self-rescue. So, has the US found such a means?Has the U.S. government started a new round of plans to affect the world order under the careful planning of its think tanks?
In the past 100 years, there have been many economic crises in the world, and Americans have always used the crises to turn defeat into victory.Under the background of the "Great Depression" in 1929, US President Roosevelt passed the "New Deal" to limit the cross-state monopoly of power companies, telephone companies and other enterprises, and to develop new power generation, transmission and distribution technology, popularize telephone communication technology and civil aviation industry in the United States. As a result, the United States has maintained a global dominant position in these fields for a long time, which has affected it to this day. In October 1973, the war in the Middle East led to a global oil crisis, but the United States took advantage of this crisis to realize the transition from the "gold standard" dollar to the "oil standard" dollar, and took control of the lifeline of the global economy in one fell swoop.The current financial crisis has already caused deep shocks in the global economy. So, what will the United States do to deal with such shocks?
Every time the U.S. boosts its economy, it needs a lot of resources. How does the U.S. get the world to invest a lot of dollars in the U.S.?Take the Internet as an example. The Internet started in the United States. Every time we register a domain name, we have to pay Americans. Our country pays the United States every year for using the Internet, including domain name registration fees, resolution fees, channel resource fees, and equipment and software fees. Expenses, etc., as high as 500 billion yuan.They rely on this method to allow a large amount of dollars to be invested in the United States, thereby stimulating the US economy.In addition, hedge funds also absorbed a large amount of dollars flowing into the United States, driving the US economy.But there is another very important concept called "petrodollar". The oil-producing countries in the Middle East earn a lot of dollars, what do they use them for?It can be used to buy U.S. treasury bonds, or invest in U.S. stock markets, or invest in U.S. companies.As a result, a large number of so-called "petrodollars" flowed back to the United States, driving the US economy.Therefore, the United States must find ways to let money flow to the United States. No matter what method is used, it doesn’t matter whether it buys U.S. government bonds or uses the Internet. Anyway, it only needs to let the funds flow to the United States.So let's take a guess at what President Obama is thinking.Obama has been thinking and thinking recently, and finally figured out how to stimulate the US economy? , that is, a large amount of dollars must be returned to the United States. Then how to return it?Those that should be repatriated have been repatriated, the Internet boom is over, and the story of petrodollars is almost over, because alternative energy sources are about to come out, and the importance of oil is not as great as before, and it is impossible to rely on petrodollars anymore.So what else?Obama thought about it. Recently, the "BRIC countries" - India, Brazil, China, and Russia are very arrogant. China is better. Look at how arrogant Brazil, India, and Russia are.And these countries, such as Brazil and Russia, are oil-producing countries. In addition, oil-producing countries in the Middle East have often quarreled with the United States in the international market recently, which the United States cannot tolerate.Take a look at China and India. They seem to be more aggressive recently. They also want to develop a super-sovereign currency, and they often hold meetings together. In addition, these two countries are mainly export-oriented.The sight of Chinese and Indian exports reminds the United States of Japan in the 1980s.Japan also produced automobiles and home appliances by importing mineral resources and then exported them to the United States. As a result, it became a wealthy country and began to challenge the United States. It even bought the Rockefeller Center in the United States and could say "no" to the United States.Well, the "BRIC" is divided into two, with two relying on oil and the other relying on exports, both of which have posed a great threat to the United States.Obama thought, how can a large amount of resources and dollars flow back to the United States?It is best to let these countries foot the bill.Let these countries that threaten the United States pay money and let the dollars flow back to the United States.Let you no longer be as tough as in the past, and at the same time realize the return of dollars to the United States. Isn't this plan perfect?Do you think Obama will think so?If he thinks this way, he must develop a new industry.This industry is called new energy. Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, American think tanks are contributing a blueprint for the future era to Obama.In this blueprint, humans will build a highly integrated new system of energy development, storage, use, and service. This system will be connected through a digital information network, and intelligent control will optimize the entire system.In order to realize this vision, Obama appointed Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize winner in physics and an expert in new energy technology of Chinese origin, as the Secretary of Energy of the United States, and invested a lot of money in many fields to carry out exploration and innovation.However, these explorations and innovations do not only mean great progress in the way of life of human beings, they are also new means for the United States to use its own advantages to reshape the international division of labor and once again lead and control the world.So, what is the United States doing now?
The U.S. wants to use the banner of environmental protection—the grand strategy of environmental protection driven by it. Its real purpose is to let a large amount of dollars flow back to the U.S. and attack the "BRIC countries" at the same time. Only American technology and American-made equipment in the world can meet the standards of the US carbon tariff. Do you believe it or not?Let me tell you that a large amount of "low-carbon dollars" will flow back to the United States, resulting in rapid economic development of the United States. The United States has ignored the environmental protection bill "Kyoto Protocol" signed in 1998.In the era of President Obama, he picked it up again, and he began to think of a way. He wanted to use the banner of a grand strategy of environmental protection led by the United States. The "BRIC countries" have strengthened the control of the United States.For example, on June 1, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill called the "American Clean Energy Security Act," which authorizes the U.S. government to impose carbon tariffs, which means that the U.S. can charge carbon for products exported to the U.S. tariff. The United States has proposed carbon tariffs before, but Germany, Japan and China have opposed them.But the United States is a very powerful country. It doesn't matter if the United States says it doesn't matter, whether you agree or disagree, anyway, that's what I did.Therefore, on June 26, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill authorizing the government to impose carbon tariffs on products exported to the U.S. A ton of carbon dioxide is charged 10 to 70 dollars.This bill will still be voted in the Senate in April 2010. The EU is vigorously lobbying the Senate to pass this bill. We will wait and see. Can you ignore the US regulations?Of course you can, as long as you don't export to it, you can ignore the United States.But as long as you export anything to the United States, the United States will impose carbon tariffs.In this way, we will have to pay for the United States.The U.S. government also appeared to be very benevolent, setting the time for 2020.You might say, no rush, we still have 11 years.But please think about it, Americans are so smart, why did they give us 11 years? Take China and India as examples. China is the world's largest exporter, followed by India. If these two countries want to continue exporting products to the United States in 2020, they must comply with the United States' carbon emission reduction requirements. If the standard is not met, a carbon tariff of US$10-70 will be imposed on one ton of carbon dioxide.If you want not to be subject to carbon tariffs, you must purchase a large number of equipment and introduce a large number of technologies to reduce carbon emissions before 2020. If you fail to do so, you will have to pay high tariffs by 2020.At this time, you will suddenly find that only American technology and American equipment in the world can meet the standards of the US carbon tariff. Do you believe it or not? If the United States wants to deal with the activities of China and India in 2020, the carbon tariff standard of the United States will definitely be very high.I believe that the standards and technology of the products produced by Chinese companies are definitely not up to the standards of the United States.If we can meet the standards of the United States, what else will the United States play?If China and India are going to export a lot of products to the US, what are we going to do in 11 years?We need to import a large amount of American technology and equipment.Therefore, a large number of "low-carbon dollars" will flow back to the United States, and China and India will pay for it.This low-carbon dollar will partially replace the petrodollar and become the second carriage of the US economic development. The so-called "carbon tariff" refers to the imposition of carbon dioxide emission tariffs on imports of high energy-consuming products, such as aluminum, steel, cement and some chemical products. In July 2009, US Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and Secretary of Energy Steven Chu visited China, and an unfamiliar topic they brought up was "carbon tariffs".In accordance with the relevant spirit of the "Kyoto Protocol" convention, China, as a developing country, does not undertake mandatory carbon emission reduction obligations for the time being, but the "carbon tariff" bill of the United States is clearly aimed at China.With the rapid development of China's economy and the rapid rise of greenhouse gas emissions, China is under increasing international pressure. "Carbon tariffs" and green trade barriers of various names are getting closer and closer to us.So, will the US "carbon tariff" plan be successful?
The United States has already found someone to pay for the plan this time, and that is us, China and India.In fact, our export is very difficult, and the profit we earn is very low. In the end, we have to pay for the United States, help the US economic development, and become the second horse-drawn carriage besides US consumption, driving the US economy. The United States has recently allocated a large amount of funds for the development of new energy sources, including wind power and vehicle energy.The U.S. government seems to gradually get rid of its dependence on oil through this new energy bill. If the United States really develops a large amount of new energy, then the world's demand for oil will drop, because everyone can switch to new energy. If the new energy developed by the United States becomes the mainstream of the world, the international status of oil-producing countries, including the Middle East countries, Russia and Brazil, the other two countries in the "BRIC", will plummet.The strategy of the United States is too powerful, killing several birds with one stone.Based on this kind of imagination, readers, please think again, if what I think is correct, what does the United States need?It's dollars.So what should they do now?In addition to devoting a lot of money to develop new energy technologies, they are about to start deploying now.So where should it be produced?The production of this product is polluting. Of course, it is best to go to China and India for production, so I suddenly discovered that at present, more than 70% of the Chinese wind power equipment market has been monopolized by foreign capital.The German giant Siemens invested 100 million euros in Shanghai on May 31, 2009 to build China's largest wind power equipment manufacturer; the US General Electric Energy Group established China's first wind turbine installation company in Shenyang in June 2006; Spain's Gamesa entered Tianjin in September 2006, also engaged in wind power generation.In terms of natural gas, British company CompAir established China's first Sino-foreign joint venture compressed natural gas equipment manufacturing company in Shanghai in July 2009.The second-generation biofuel technology will also be brought into the Chinese market by foreign companies, such as cellulosic ethanol, using non-food crops such as blue-green algae to make biodiesel, biomass liquefaction, etc.Europe and the United States have cooperated very well. They have now begun to fully deploy and are waiting to welcome 2020.In the future, more new energy factories will enter China, because the Chinese government is attracting investment in new energy. After these factories arrive in China, they will be purely foreign capital, and the money they earn will be legally remitted to Europe and the United States. What is carbon?For example, the production of one ton of cement will produce one ton of carbon dioxide, and one ton of carbon dioxide will have to pay a tariff of 10 to 70 US dollars. Think about it, how expensive is it?One ton of converter steel produces 1.8 tons of carbon dioxide, and one ton of electric furnace steel produces 0.6 tons of carbon dioxide. These may not be specific. Specifically, Madonna's latest global tour brought 1,635 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.If carbon tariffs are imposed, multiply 1635 tons by $10 or $70, assuming that the carbon tariff is $30 a ton, then the carbon tariff to be paid by Madonna’s concert is 1635 tons multiplied by $30, or $49,050.In order to offset the 19.5 tons of carbon emissions generated by her flying 149,483 kilometers in 2009, Zhou Xun had to spend 6,000 yuan to buy 238 trees to make up for the carbon emissions. According to the data presented by some western organizations, in 2007 China's carbon dioxide emissions from energy use were estimated to have reached more than 6 billion tons, surpassing the United States to become the world's largest carbon dioxide emitter.China's per capita carbon dioxide emissions have also shown a rapid rise in recent years. According to the statistics of the International Energy Agency, it was 50.3% of the world's average level in 1990, rose to 60.5% in 2000, and reached nearly 100% in 2005. It is now comparable to the world's average level. , although it is only 1/3 of the average level of developed countries, it is already 1.7 times of the average level of developing countries.No matter how accurate these data are, the issue of "carbon" is destined to become the focus of contradictions in future economic development. So, what exactly is carbon, and how will "carbon tariffs" affect the lives of each of us?
The Badaling in Beijing will be called Carbon Sink Forest Forest Farm in the future.The carbon sink forest you bought for 1,000 yuan can offset the 5.6 tons of carbon dioxide you emitted. The total carbon dioxide emitted by a Chinese family in two years is 5.6 tons. How much is a ton?Dear readers, think about your future. In the future, even the carbon dioxide emitted by breathing will be charged.In fact, this market has already been established. Not only has the market been established in Europe, but it has also been established very well, including various derivative financial instruments.Let me tell readers again that the purpose of the United States is to transfer all these low-carbon dollars to the United States through the development of new energy in the United States, and to make the United States a real center of new energy through taxation. Now we have to pay the United States to apply for a domain name, and it will be the same when we hold concerts in the future.In the future, Zhou Xun and Jay Chou will have to pay the United States for their concerts.Why?Carbon emissions.As long as the charging center is located in the United States, the United States can set up various charges just like developing the Internet, including that we have to pay the United States for TV programs.This is the entire ambition and attempt of the new energy policy of the United States, and this is the real political purpose of climate warming - to pay for the second carriage of the United States. Goods may be produced in China and services outsourced to India.However, most of the final customers of these goods and services live in the United States and Europe.If consumption in the U.S. and Europe plummets, it is simply impossible for the rest of the world to remain unaffected.Many other countries in the world have specialized in the division of labor, and each has become a place of product manufacturing, service provision, and raw material production for American and European consumers. However, so far, these countries have not yet been able to create a large enough domestic market and domestic demand to avoid A global recession triggered by weakening consumption in the US and Europe.Some experts believe that due to the impressive economic development of the "BRIC countries" such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China, the economic growth rates of these countries and the global economic situation have been able to decouple from the United States and Europe.But if you check carefully, you will find that the economies of these countries are still small, and a large part of the economic growth of these countries can be attributed to exports to the United States and Europe.The pace of change in the stock markets of various countries in the world actually maintains a high degree of consistency.The only exceptions are oil-producing countries like Nigeria and Russia, whose stock markets typically strengthen when oil prices climb.In contrast, the stock markets of oil-consuming countries such as the United States will weaken due to high oil prices.In the long run, though, even that difference would be wiped out, because if the U.S. and Europe were downturned, oil demand would drop accordingly, oil prices would fall, and Nigeria and Russia would be hit by a global slowdown . On the Wall Street Journal website, an easy way to demonstrate that the global economy is not decoupling from the U.S. economy is to create a graph of global stock index changes and a graph of global stock index changes that exclude U.S. stocks, and combine the two A comparison of the graphs reveals that the change curves on the two graphs can almost completely overlap. The correlation is so close that it is difficult for the global economy to decouple from the United States. There are four ways in which the dilemma facing the United States can spread to the world.First, many foreign governments and their commercial banks will suffer direct losses from their holdings of U.S. mortgage assets and mortgage-backed securities; second, those countries that have experienced temporary housing bubbles will eventually experience rapid declines in house prices; Countries that mainly export to the United States and Europe will experience economic contraction due to the reduction in consumer demand in the United States and Europe; fourth, for those countries already threatened by economic crisis, currency flows will amplify their losses.It's not just businesses and banks that will be under pressure, the whole country is at risk of bankruptcy. This article is an excerpt from John R. Talbott's "The Great Rescue: The Financial Plague Sweeping the World, How to Save Yourself?" "
In the past 100 years, there have been many economic crises in the world, and Americans have always used the crises to turn defeat into victory.Under the background of the "Great Depression" in 1929, US President Roosevelt passed the "New Deal" to limit the cross-state monopoly of power companies, telephone companies and other enterprises, and to develop new power generation, transmission and distribution technology, popularize telephone communication technology and civil aviation industry in the United States.

They have now begun to fully deploy and are waiting to welcome 2020.In the future, more new energy factories will enter China, because the Chinese government is attracting investment in new energy.

According to the data presented by some western organizations, in 2007 China's carbon dioxide emissions from energy use were estimated to have reached more than 6 billion tons, surpassing the United States to become the world's largest carbon dioxide emitter.China's per capita carbon dioxide emissions have also shown a rapid rise in recent years. According to the statistics of the International Energy Agency, it was 50.3% of the world's average level in 1990, rose to 60.5% in 2000, and reached nearly 100% in 2005. It is now comparable to the world's average level. , although it is only 1/3 of the average level of developed countries, it is already 1.7 times of the average level of developing countries.No matter how accurate these data are, the issue of "carbon" is destined to become the focus of contradictions in future economic development. So, what exactly is carbon, and how will "carbon tariffs" affect the lives of each of us?
The Badaling in Beijing will be called Carbon Sink Forest Forest Farm in the future.The carbon sink forest you bought for 1,000 yuan can offset the 5.6 tons of carbon dioxide you emitted. The total carbon dioxide emitted by a Chinese family in two years is 5.6 tons. How much is a ton?Dear readers, think about your future. In the future, even the carbon dioxide emitted by breathing will be charged.In fact, this market has already been established. Not only has the market been established in Europe, but it has also been established very well, including various derivative financial instruments.Let me tell readers again that the purpose of the United States is to transfer all these low-carbon dollars to the United States through the development of new energy in the United States, and to make the United States a real center of new energy through taxation. Now we have to pay the United States to apply for a domain name, and it will be the same when we hold concerts in the future.In the future, Zhou Xun and Jay Chou will have to pay the United States for their concerts.Why?Carbon emissions.As long as the charging center is located in the United States, the United States can set up various charges just like developing the Internet, including that we have to pay the United States for TV programs.This is the entire ambition and attempt of the new energy policy of the United States, and this is the real political purpose of climate warming - to pay for the second carriage of the United States. Goods may be produced in China and services outsourced to India.However, most of the final customers of these goods and services live in the United States and Europe.If consumption in the U.S. and Europe plummets, it is simply impossible for the rest of the world to remain unaffected.Many other countries in the world have specialized in the division of labor, and each has become a place of product manufacturing, service provision, and raw material production for American and European consumers. However, so far, these countries have not yet been able to create a large enough domestic market and domestic demand to avoid A global recession triggered by weakening consumption in the US and Europe.Some experts believe that due to the impressive economic development of the "BRIC countries" such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China, the economic growth rates of these countries and the global economic situation have been able to decouple from the United States and Europe.But if you check carefully, you will find that the economies of these countries are still small, and a large part of the economic growth of these countries can be attributed to exports to the United States and Europe.The pace of change in the stock markets of various countries in the world actually maintains a high degree of consistency.The only exceptions are oil-producing countries like Nigeria and Russia, whose stock markets typically strengthen when oil prices climb.In contrast, the stock markets of oil-consuming countries such as the United States will weaken due to high oil prices.In the long run, though, even that difference would be wiped out, because if the U.S. and Europe were downturned, oil demand would drop accordingly, oil prices would fall, and Nigeria and Russia would be hit by a global slowdown . On the Wall Street Journal website, an easy way to demonstrate that the global economy is not decoupling from the U.S. economy is to create a graph of global stock index changes and a graph of global stock index changes that exclude U.S. stocks, and combine the two A comparison of the graphs reveals that the change curves on the two graphs can almost completely overlap. The correlation is so close that it is difficult for the global economy to decouple from the United States. There are four ways in which the dilemma facing the United States can spread to the world.First, many foreign governments and their commercial banks will suffer direct losses from their holdings of U.S. mortgage assets and mortgage-backed securities; second, those countries that have experienced temporary housing bubbles will eventually experience rapid declines in house prices; Countries that mainly export to the United States and Europe will experience economic contraction due to the reduction in consumer demand in the United States and Europe; fourth, for those countries already threatened by economic crisis, currency flows will amplify their losses.It's not just businesses and banks that will be under pressure, the whole country is at risk of bankruptcy.
