Making the news today....

awww, you moved on too quick from renewable energy and now on to nanny states. Just when I had been reading that China despite building coal power stations also....

- Produces 30% of its electricity from renewable resources (the UK is about 40%, more than the US, but not as much as Germanys 50%... nordstream anyone?)

- Uses less electricity per head of population than the UK so has a massive demand for electricity generation (and far less than the US, or Canada - I use the US as a beacon to the world with their Holywood influence)

- Also has a massive population, in 60 years has required 6 times more electricity per person as the country industrialises and modernises. This is a lot of electricity generation needed. Nuclear won't cut it with the lead times on a new power station, they want power now, not 20 years time.

 

As a nation we cannot say "Don't" because then a billion migrants will be coming to the bright electrical lights of the west. What we can do is use our (post brexit dwindling) influence on the world to lead by example. Africa is even further behind their electrification and will no doubt go down the fossil fuels route before switching to renewable energies.

 

Got to look at the world, do the reading, look at the facts, the numbers, what will happen if we say 'do this' or 'don't do this'. It all works together as a glorious whole thing, rather than getting angry about 1 headline that pushes a political narrative. Noting that the UK government is relaxing the 'de-facto' ban on onshore wind turbines (todays press word of the day). This is a good thing.

 

 

 

 

Right, Nanny state.... I'll tick renewable energy off my list.

Sometimes it’s best to just ignore the trolls. 
 

If I was asked to envision this particular troll I’d imagine terraced house, involuntary single,  vegan, pastimes primarily based around the end of oil whilst at the same time being completely oblivious to his whole existence depending on it.A  70-80% chance of having long hair that if he’s not careful America would invade due to its vast oil production.

Too busy bud so rather than explain I just Googled “ man bored out his skull” and used one of the images.

There’s at least two of these trolls offering nothing other than their point of view backing it up with some further stern points of their view. Exhaustive reply’s of just fluff that holds no bearing to reality or anything what they believe reality to be.

Not a troll by the way, just an opposing opinion. Oh, and google to back that up.

Hang on, hang on. Is this some kind of trans-universe version of Arbtalk; where Men are Trolls, and Trolls are Men? Confusing. It's time for The Great Reset.

I thought you might have been away getting boosted or prepping your mask 😷 supply for the new covid variant that’s being spun out for the gullible.
