These insights of david Ricardo (1772-1823) need to be tempered with the insights of Johan von Thunen (1783-1850) to help in understanding the effects of transport costs on commodity prices at the ‘farm gate’ – or the mine, or the mill or the factory – on land rents, values and taxation for agricultural, commercial and industrial lands.

Hookay, dodged a bullet of poorly placed enthusiasm (not that the Needles plant was going to top 5MW or that crowdfunding a charitable demo of 10kW for the Navajo People took off.) Gotta stick with the MerinoMink promise that NZ’s bushytail possums (vermin since 1870) will be harvested ’til they’re all gone.

There’s no such thing as Unintended Consequences, at least when we’re talking about governments and large corporations. These folks have the authority and knowledge to make anything happen, and they always know exactly what they want. Starving the poor and enriching the rich is not unintended, it’s their permanent goal.
