How about a quote so we know what your point is?

You’re being asked to agree to the principle of the Low Carbon Transition without being given a spreadsheet of where the commitments are being made and being given a chance to critique the budget.
Nuclear Power and Carbon Capture and Storage are not mentioned once in Ed’s morale-building article, but we should all know that there is more than a strong underlying intention to bailout the Nuclear and Coal Energy industries using public money.
Don’t fall for the “social consensus” argument without knowing what you are signing on the dotted line for.
The UNFCCC and the European Union have effectively ceded control of the choice of Climate Change “mitigation” technologies to the large mining and Energy companies, and I, personally, don’t want to be part of a consensus like that. Their choices are for the good of themselves, and not the best choices for the planet.

The time was that I would have read such a document cover-to-cover by now.
I haven't even read the executive summary on this one. Maybe I'm just getting a bid jaded about this government's efforts, dunno why.

Yeah, it's funny, I just can't get motivated to read it. To busy doing real preps now we've finally moved in!

Can't say I've read much of it yet. It's nice to know tptb are aware of the problems and actually have a plan though.....

Not if it's nukes and more coal "which might be clean by 2020 if they can be arsed", though.SunnyJim wrote:It's nice to know tptb are aware of the problems and actually have a plan though.....
