You want your blood pressure raised ?

listen to this, from today this morning.

BBC Radio 4 - Today, 27/09/2013

minute 15 in, takes 15-20 seconds for the "debate" to develop.

These clowns want to take us back to the stone ages.

But glad rag, he is the managing director and founder of

Solar Panels | Photovoltaic Solar Panels | Solar PV | Solarcentury

So what else is he going to say, it's a bit like asking a Vegan food producer to speak about beef burgers, he's going to tell you all day long they're bad for you, as for the no more oil etc, well without the plastics, what is he going to make his solar panels out of?

I myself am a great believer in landfill, I do not think plastic recycling is sufficiently far enough advanced to utilise plastics to their fullest capability, 50, 60 or 100 years from now I can forsee all the plastics buried in landfill being "mined" to recycle them when the price of oil etc has rocketed and the technology exists to utilise this legacy we have left behind.

Nutty, it was the total shift from fossil that got me going [@ 06:15] absolutely targeting the energy industries, they really do want us back in the stone age!

Those and the Green Party yes, though one does wonder how long their principals would stack up sitting in the dark looking at the none working gas fire mid winter whilst the TV sits collecting dust... outside their car rusting in the drive and stores now have less on the shelves than Russian ones pre Glasnost. The range of fruits alone we had from the world over now simply dreams and those we have simply seasonal again.

When you think of the rationing we had during WW2 because the ability to import sufficient goods was severely hampered and the UK couldn't self sustain itself then.
Top that off with the UK population being over 13 million more and you would have total meltdown and anarchy.

Suprising the reliance on fossil fuels.

I would glady agree to keep paying the ECO tax on my energy bills if they would stop subsidising useless "bird killing" windmills, and build loads of chuffing nukes. Once we are self sufficient in nukes the "oil providers" can take a walk, the Gazproms of this world can turn their flames down. Sort the countries energy out, not the world economy.

It strikes me that when the railways were nationally owned they made a considerable loss, then almost as soon as they were privatised they made enourmous profits. That seems to work pretty much across the board. Something odd going on here? Or didnt they tell us about the profits?
I must also agree with Smuj, Im not convinced that the CBA of windmills has been properly thought through, neither has the 'Green Agenda'. Nuclear is really the only option for us to be self sufficient in power.

"Contains no dairy products" written on the cup.

Most probably a true statement.
