Washington, D.C. – Ahead of Deere & Company’s annual shareholder meeting this week, the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Free Enterprise Project (FEP) is urging Deere investors to support its shareholder proposal requesting an “Emissions Reduction ROI Audit.”
Proposal #4 requests that Deere’s board produce a report “assessing the current and expected return on investment (ROI) of the Company’s emission reduction goals, accounting for cognizable litigation and reputation risk.”…
At Wednesday’s meeting, FEP Executive Director Steve Milloy will add:
The simple math is that Deere & Co. could stop selling gas-powered equipment today and forever, and it would make no discernible difference to the atmosphere, average global temperature, the weather or the climate….
So is it possible that Deere can make money off the climate hoax by selling pointlessly more expensive “green” equipment that isn’t nearly as good as the gas-powered equipment it is intended to replace? The car industry just tried that. And it lost tens of billions of dollars and has now all but abandoned electric vehicles….
Worse, all this green junk just makes our country that much more dependent on Communist China, where parts and components are made. If I were in management, I’d be more worried about relying on Communist China than I would be about the weather 100 years from now.
