Off Topic Starmer/ Reeves: last man standing

I agree about listening to scientists, which seem to say it's alright for China, India etc to open coal mines, but not ok for West. There will still be plenty of open cast sites available though

 

Have not even heard of him

 

I would say China is probably the worst example you could pick but certainly they do seem to be putting a lot of investment into renewables which can only be a good thing.

 

They are opening 2 a week = 104 a year, I don’t believe our 1 is drastically going to make a big difference.

 

They are still opening them though, you could say they have adults in charge compared to the last few shambles here. They know you cannot use renewable only, take note labour and greens

 

Despite what the activists say, we can't just switch from fossil fuels to a more environmentally friendly fuel over night, probably not even over the next 10-20 years.

It's a no brainer to me that we should be using our own resources rather than importing while we phase it out. We also need to be cracking on with the new nuclear power plants.

 

So no investment in renewables as Farage tells us?

China hasn’t put a handbrake on their economy unlike Brexit uk and need the energy as we did in the 1800s. As highlighted above they are investing significantly in renewables which is the right thing to do so you are right they must have some adults running the show.

A sensible policy would be to invest in renewables and limited nuclear as we wind down fossil fuels which is sensible and very sensible for our children and children’s children. Adults are making those decisions.

Given the disastrous privatisation of utilities by the tories in the 80s, with its legacy of high bills and poor infrastructure, I don’t think we should take any lectures from the right on this. I’m sure stockbroker Nigel, when he was a member of the Tory party, would have been delighted with privatisation. Sadly these privatisation decisions have been a disaster for the vast majority of people in this country with sky high bills. A limited number of shareholders will be delighted though.

 

Should take no lectures from any extremist esp the school ground political.

 

Hilarious Jim. You need to listen to experts more certainly on climate change.
