In my view this entire border hysteria is based on fear and greed. For a few corporations this is all extremely profitable. It is a works program. And it is completely out of control as this report makes clear. The false foundation of this whole business is why it is also so corrupt.
Grid parity in 2016 will result in a very rapid shift in power infrastructure. If you could heat and electrify your house and run your car more cheaply why wouldn't you do it? The market will kill carbon energy faster than government regulation. It is government stimulation, not regulation that is the leverage point.

As you know, all equity markets are currently rigged. The physical investors have, by and large, left the stock exchanges since 2008 and the share prices are since then manipulated by coordinated, rigged electronic trading done by a few US and other Western big banks and funds.

It is a very short and highly explosive equity bubble, created by rigged electronic trading on a large scale by a few big banks and funds.
