🌳 We’re off — Barriers to a Green Revolution at #CPC21

😊 Free market environmentalism can lead to a greener, freer, more prosperous society for future generations.

🗣 @AusHCUK, @CSkidmoreUK, @Con_Tomlinson, and @DrRussTucker @AusHCUK says the key first barrier to a green revolution is the over reliance on state-based solutions — it depends on countless individual investors and billions of consumers.

Governments can set a framework but state-based, top-down solutions won’t make a difference.

The Factory Tax is holding back Britain, @CatoInstitute’s @MrRBourne writes in the @Telegraph referencing the @ASI’s latest paper.

telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/… “A key cause of [low productivity] is surely Britain’s stingy capital allowances for these investments within its corporation tax code – a phenomenon the Adam Smith Institute (ASI) has called a “factory tax”.”

Mike Pompeo is absolutely right to say it's "disgusting" that UK political leaders refuse to drop their support for Venezuelan dictator Maduro. The @ASI has been a vocal opponent of his socialist regime, most recently through our Venezuela campaign. Some highlights follow... “In a centrally planned economy, the ruling class can use goods in short supply as a political instrument of control.” Short supplies are a feature, not a bug of the socialist system.
