He is that, but he is not the only one who makes selective use of scientific evidence to justify his political agenda; and his figures regarding electrical output from coal and renewable sources are not wrong. He does, however, appear to be completely ignorant of the existence of natural gas.

Which reminds me, I seem to remember a recent forecast of future natural gas prices which showed how natural gas was the only show in town, for theforeseeable future, with an estimated price of 40p a therm, and showing a low and high price cases of 30p a therm and 50p a therm.

Since it was published the average spot price in the UK has been 55p a therm.

Anyone notice that Israel has just joined the market for LPG (again)?

Build wind turbines now, whilst we can still afford them!
